tearing me apart
B.R.A.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been feeling hopeless
It's like I'm soulless
But you already know this
I'm in an abyss
I shouldn't exist
I think I'm gonna' slit my wrist
I gave you my all
I guess it's my fault
I think it's time I move on
But I'm a dreamer
I'm a schemer
Still wish I didn't need her
Just take my heart (My heart)
I don't want it anymore (Anymore)
Watch me fall apart (Fall apart)
Watch me fall apart (Fall apart)
Look at my reflection (Reflection)
So far from perfection (Yeah)
So used to rejection (Rejection)
I just need a connection (Yeah)
I wanna be all alone
Please don't text my phone
I need to do this on my own
It's so hard but I should've known
So please don't check on me
I'm always fine just let me be
Livin' life carefree
I still wonder if you think of me
It's like people always ask you why you're sad
And you don't really know why
It's just something you feel
And you wish you could be different
But you always have to fight yourself to try to feel happy every day
And wake up and do things that make you feel that
But it's really hard when you just wanna cry alone
And be by yourself and not talk to anyone
Just take my heart (My heart)
I don't want it anymore (Anymore)
Watch me fall apart (Fall apart)
Watch me fall apart (Fall apart)
Look at my reflection (Reflection)
So far from perfection (Yeah)
So used to rejection (Rejection)
I just need a connection (Yeah)
Just take my heart (My heart)
I don't want it anymore (Anymore)
Watch me fall apart (Fall apart)
Watch me fall apart (Fall apart)
Look at my reflection (Reflection)
So far from perfection (Yeah)




So used to rejection (Rejection)
I just need a connection (Yeah)
