Torn
Holly Beth Lyrics

In the first verse of the song, the singer reflects on her words and how she didn't fully expect the consequences of her actions. When she said, "Ruin my life," and "Fuck me up," she didn't actually anticipate that they would be taken seriously. However, now she finds herself in a state of confusion and disarray, trying to pick herself up from the emotional aftermath.

The second verse reveals the singer's internal struggle as she questions the reasons behind her persistent fight and effort in the relationship. She wonders why she continues to try for something that was supposed to be a special connection between the two of them. Despite the reassurance that she is his, she still feels insecure and unsure. The singer expresses her weariness and disbelief regarding the current state of their love, as it feels torn and broken.

The bridge of the song delves deeper into the singer's longing for validation and hope. She acknowledges that she knows her partner cares for her, but she can't help but feel that he shares similar feelings with other girls as well. She struggles to shut out the doubts and fears that plague her thoughts. The reference to her demons getting louder emphasizes the growing internal turmoil she is experiencing.

In the final chorus, the singer questions herself and wonders if she made a mistake. She pleads with her partner to provide her with something solid to hold onto in their relationship. She wants reassurance to keep persevering and not give up. Yet, she still cannot help but question why she continues to fight and try for something that she had believed in but now feels uncertain about. The repeated mention of their love being torn serves as a significant metaphor, highlighting the brokenness and confusion that surrounds their once promising relationship.
