Torn
Anthony Amorim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up to a stranger's head laying in
The pillow where you used to rest your's
It's been lonely inside my bed
Sometimes I find that I need to outsource
It's been a while since I've seen you
And I do not mean to bring back all the things we were
It's just that I find it hard to continue without you to keep me warm
Oh, I'm just a little bit torn (torn)
Oh, I'm just a little bit (torn)

I wake up, 4 cups of coffee
Still use that machine you bought me
So I can save some money
And I still think it's funny how
After three months, still getting over speed bumps
Like deleting all our pictures and not taking new ones
I should control it, I know that I could move on
It's just that you make me feel so
Alive and then wish I was never born

I'm just a little bit torn
Oh, I'm just a little bit torn
Oh, I'm just a little bit

Where do we go from here?
I wish I knew the answers
I'm living my life in fear
Of going on new adventures
I wish I wasn't so used to waking up to you laying beside me
But if you're not looking then you'll never find me
It won't take too long for me to be strong
And really start living more
But I could be wrong, I hate moving on
And losing what we had before





I'm just little bit torn (torn)
Oh, I'm just a little bit (torn)

Overall Meaning

As the song begins, the singer wakes up to a stranger's head on his pillow where his former lover used to rest. He admits to feeling lonely without her and frequently seeks temporary distractions from the pain of their separation.
