The outlaw torn
Metallica feat. San Francisco Symphony with Michael Kamen Lyrics

And now I wait my whole lifetime for you
I have been waiting for a long time for you to come back into my life.

I ride the dirt, I ride the tide for you
I have been searching everywhere, both on land and sea, to find you.

To take back what you left me
I want to right the wrongs that were done to me when you left.

I know I'll always burn to be
I will always have a desire to seek out what I need, no matter how long it takes.

The one who seeks so I may find
I am a seeker, who is looking for something, hoping to find it one day.

Outlaw of torn
I feel like I'm on the fringes, living a life not quite accepted by the society around me.

And I'm torn
I am conflicted and have opposing feelings about someone or something.

So on I wait my whole lifetime for you
I will keep waiting for you, no matter how long it takes.

The more I search, the more my need for you
The longer I look for you, the more I realize how much I need you.

The more I bless, the more I bleed for you
The more I love you, the more I feel hurt and pain in my heart when you are not around.

You make me smash the clock and feel
You make me forget about time and focus only on you.

I'd rather die behind the wheel
I would rather perish while pursuing what I desire instead of giving up and doing nothing.

Time was never on my side
I have always struggled with a lack of time to accomplish what I need to do.

Hear me
I need to be listened to.

And if I close my mind in fear
If I become fearful and close myself off to the outside world,

Please pry it open
Please help me open myself up again.

See me
I want you to see who I really am, not just the surface level.

And if my face becomes sincere
If you see me become emotional and open up,

Beware
Be aware of my feelings and what I'm going through.

Hold me
I need your support to keep me strong.

And when I start to come undone
When I feel like I'm falling apart,

Stitch me together
Put me back together and keep me whole.

Save me
Help me when I need it the most.

And when you see me strut
When you see me acting like everything's okay,

Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
Remind me of the pain and loneliness I used to feel before you came back into my life.
