Torn
Letoya Feat. Mike Jones Rick Ross & Jermaine Dupri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A part of me wants for you to come home
A part of me says I'm livin' a lie (and I'm better off without you)
A part of me says to think it through
A part of me says I'm over you
A part of me wants to say good bye
A part of me is asking why
But a part of me wants to be here with you
And every time I think that we're over and done
You do something that gets me back lovin' you
And you got me just torn
Torn in between the two
'Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone)
You got me just torn in between the two
'Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone)
What hurts the most is when we started out
It was cool; it was everything that love's about
But something happened
'Cause I'm feeling so burned out
Because I can't understand you now
(I just can't understand you now, no, oh)
A part of me says it's all my fault
A part of me says he ain't what you want
A part of me says to get my bags
A part of me says I can't do that
A part of me wants to leave
But a part of me wants to be here with you
And every time I think that it's over and done
You make me fall back in love
You got me just torn between the two
Torn in between the two
'Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone)
You got me just torn in between the two
'Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone)
So many times I, I was ready to go
So many times I, had my foot out the door
So many times I, I thought to give him a chance
Thought he'd be a better man
Now I'm sitting here, and I'm so confused
'Cause I keep fighting myself for you
I don't know how much more I can take
But I can't feel this way
You got me so torn
Torn in between the two
'Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone)
You got me just torn in between the two
'Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone)
You got me just torn in between the two
'Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone)
You got me just torn in between the two
'Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone)
You got me just torn in between the two
'Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone)
And you got me just torn in between the two
'Cause I really wanna be with you
But something is telling me that I should leave
You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone)

Thought he'd be a better man
I assumed you were capable of being a superior partner
Now I'm sitting here, and I'm so confused
I am currently perplexed and uncertain
'Cause I keep fighting myself for you
Because I'm struggling with my desires for you
I don't know how much more I can take
I am unaware of how much more of this I can handle
But I can't feel this way
But I am unable to sustain these emotions
You got me so torn
You have left me extremely conflicted
'Cause I really wanna be with you
I earnestly desire to remain in a relationship with you
But something is telling me that I should leave You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone)
However, an inner voice is advising me to terminate this relationship
Torn in between the two
I feel torn between deciding which path to take
