Torn
Hands Like House Lyrics

I thought I saw a man brought to life
The singer thought they had met a respectable and honorable man

He was warm, he came around like
The man was friendly and approachable

He was dignified
The man carried himself with grace and respectability

He showed me what it was to cry
The man helped the artist experience emotion and vulnerability

Well you couldn't be that man I adored
The artist realizes that the man they thought was respectable and honorable is not who they thought he was

You don't seem to know, don't seem to care
The man is indifferent and doesn't prioritize the important things in life

What your heart is for
The man doesn't understand his own emotions and doesn't know how to connect with others on an emotional level

No I don't know him anymore
The artist no longer knows or recognizes the man they once thought was respectable and honorable

There's nothin' where we used to lie
The relationship between the artist and the man has fallen apart and there is nothing left of it

Conversation has run dry
The artist and the man no longer have anything to say to each other

That's what's going on
This is the current state of the relationship between the singer and the man

Nothing's fine
The relationship between the artist and the man is in turmoil and nothing is going well

I'm torn
The singer is in pain and feeling emotionally torn apart

I'm all out of faith
The singer has lost all trust and confidence in the man and the relationship

This is how I feel
The singer is expressing their raw and honest emotions

I'm cold and I am chained
The artist feels emotionally numb and trapped in their pain

Lying naked on the floor
The artist is feeling vulnerable and exposed in their pain and hurt

Illusion never changed
The love and respect that the singer thought they had with the man was never real

Into something real
The relationship between the singer and the man was just an illusion

I'm cold and I am shamed and bound
The artist feels ashamed and burdened by their emotional pain

And broken on the floor
The artist is feeling emotionally shattered and broken

And I can see the perfect sky is torn
The world around the artist seems to be falling apart, even the sky is imperfect

You're a little late
The man has missed his chance to repair the relationship with the singer

I'm already torn
The artist is beyond repairing the relationship with the man

So I guess the fortune teller's right
The singer reminisces about a fortune teller's prediction, which becomes true

I should have seen just what was there
The singer realizes they should have seen the truth about the man from the beginning

And not some holy light
The singer thought the man was perfect and admirable, like some sort of saint or holy figure

But you crawled beneath my veins
The man has become a part of the artist's life and has had a significant impact on them

And now I don't care
The artist has become jaded and indifferent towards the man and the relationship

I have no luck
The singer has had bad luck with the relationship with the man

I don't miss it all that much
The singer isn't too bothered by the fact that the relationship with the man didn't work out

There's just so many things
The artist is overwhelmed with emotions and complexities of the situation

That I can't touch
The artist feels unable to change or fix the situation

I'm wide awake
The artist is very much present and aware of their emotions and circumstance
