Torn
Brian Withycombe Lyrics

I thought I saw a man brought to life
I believed I saw a man being rejuvenated and rekindled into life

He was warm - he came around like
He emanated a warm feeling and approached me with familiarity

He was dignified
He was associated with honor, respect and a sense of righteousness

He showed me what it was to cry
He revealed to me the depth of emotional pain that can lead one to tears

Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You cannot be that same person I loved and admired

You don't seem to know - don't seem to care
You lack awareness and indifference towards your own feelings and emotions

What your heart is for
You have lost sight of what your heart truly desires and longs for

No I don't know him anymore
The person I once knew and loved is no longer recognizable to me

There's nothin' where we used to lie
The place where we used to be intimate and close is now just an empty void

Conversation has run dry
We no longer have anything to talk about or share with each other

That's what's going on
This is the current state of our relationship

Nothing's fine
Things are not okay or good between us

I'm torn
I am conflicted and devastated

I'm all out of faith
I no longer have any trust or belief in our relationship

This is how I feel
These are my true sentiments and emotions

I'm cold and I am chained
I feel emotionally cold and trapped

Lying naked on the floor
I feel exposed and vulnerable

Illusion never changed
The fantasy I had about us never turned into a reality

Into something real
Our relationship never became substantial or authentic

I'm cold and I am shamed and bound
I feel humiliated and restrained in my emotional state

And broken on the floor
My emotional state has shattered me into pieces

And I can see the perfect sky is torn
Even the perfect aspects of my life are broken and damaged

You're a little late
Your reaction or response is not timely

I'm already torn
I am already damaged and broken beyond repair

So I guess the fortune teller's right
It appears that the foreteller's prediction or advice was accurate

I should have seen just what was there
I should have paid attention to what was truly happening or existed

And not some holy light
Instead of focusing on some imaginary or unrealistic hope or expectation

But you crawled beneath my veins
You became an essential and entrenched part of my life

And now I don't care
Now, I am indifferent and apathetic

I have no luck
I am not fortunate or successful in my romantic relationships

I don't miss it all that much
I do not feel an acute sense of nostalgia or longing for my past relationships

There's just so many things
There are innumerable things to regret or wish for in a relationship

I can't touch
I cannot have or attain those desirable aspects of a relationship

Nothin's right
Things are not going well or correctly in our relationship

I'm wide awake
I am alert and fully cognizant of my situation

And I can see the perfect sky is torn
Even the idealistic aspects of my life are damaged and ripped apart

You're a little late
Your response or action is delayed and ineffective

I'm already torn
I am already irreparably damaged and broken
