Torn
Leaders And Kings Lyrics

The lyrics of "Torn" by Leaders And Kings explore the struggle of being torn between two conflicting emotions in a relationship. The song opens with the singer acknowledging the difficulty of finding the right words to express their feelings and the predicament they are in. They emphasize that the person's heart is the place they reside, indicating the significance of their emotions in this situation.

The singer highlights the importance of making a wise choice and looking around to see who is loyal even when they are not present. They question who helps them when they are feeling down and who shows them love when they have crossed certain boundaries. The lyrics suggest that the singer is debating between two people, as indicated by the repeated mention of "you" and "maybe you." The uncertainty comes from being new to love and feeling used in the past, leading them to consider moving away from this conflict and making it a taboo topic.

Despite wanting to leave, the singer acknowledges that their attachment to the person they are torn between is strong. They describe still being soul tied to this person and struggling to find someone new to fill the void they have created in their heart. The lyrics imply that the person embedded themselves within the singer, and the singer was aware of their own brokenness as well.

In the final repetition of the chorus, the singer again expresses their torn feelings, not wanting to leave the person who hurt them but acknowledging that others have shown them more love. The lyrics emphasize the ongoing soul connection and the singer's inability to replace the emotional space that the person once occupied. The final line of being torn between the two captures the essence of the song's theme, the internal struggle and conflicting emotions faced in this complex relationship.
