Apart
It's tearing me apart
I wanna tell you I don't love you
Tell you that we're through
Tell you that we're through
Tearing me apart
And it's tear—
Tell you that we're through
Tell you that we're through
But when I close my eyes and only
What I see is you, you, you
Although we're trying to hide the way we feel inside
We finally realise our love will never die
Because baby you were made for me
And it's tearing me apart
Tearing me apart
I wanna tell you I don't love you
Tell you that we're through
Tell you that we're through
But when I close my eyes and only
What I see is you, you, you
Although we're trying to hide the way we feel inside
We finally realise our love will never die
Because baby you were made for me
And it's tearing me apart
Tearing me apart
The lyrics to Hugh Hardie's song "Tearing Me Apart" tells the story of someone who is struggling between love and the urge to move on. The person singing the song is torn between the love they feel for their partner and the realization that they need to let go. The lyrics reveal a complicated internal struggle happening within the person as they try to decide what to do.
The lyrics repeat the phrase "Tearing me apart" throughout the song, emphasizing the internal pain and struggle the person is dealing with. They want to tell their partner that they don't love them anymore and end the relationship, but every time they close their eyes, they see their partner's face. The lyrics suggest that the love they have for their partner is strong and powerful, making it difficult for them to walk away.
Moreover, as the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that the love the person has for their partner is undeniable. The last lines of the song say, "Because baby you were made for me, And it's tearing me apart." These lines suggest that the person now realizes that they cannot live without their partner, and no matter how hard they try to move on, they will always come back to the love they have for their partner.
Overall, the song speaks to the complicated nature of love and how difficult it can be to walk away from someone you love, even if it's the rational thing to do.
