Tore Up Lyrics

Sleepin' in a stranger's house, you wonder what it's all about, how did I lose everything

I found

What is this all built upon, nursery rhymes and lucky charms, do you have the strength to disappear

She was just a hypocrite, say one thing and do the next, I wasn't better, lyin' through my teeth

Ooh, you know you hate to see it fall apart, was it broken from the start? My mama told me I've got to move on

Ooh, you got me tore up, listenin' to all those dreaded songs, envision you will cry back in my arms

Roll another joint, smoke that pain away, ooh, you got me tore up

Burnin' a candle, I won't eat, drinkin' deep from the well of sin, pickin' the lock, tryin' to break these chains

Ooh, you got me tore up, really wish that I could know the secrets of your tortured soul, the tip of the iceberg ain't revealin' much

Then again, how would it be if we sang in perfect harmony? I'd write the songs, I can pay your rent, and now the bill is due, baby

Thought it was a guarantee, was that all you were to me? Some compensation for a hard-won fight

Ooh, you know it's gotta be deeper than this, cause I remember our last kiss, holdin' on to bad times in the night

Ooh, you got me tore up, listenin' to all those dreaded songs, envision you will cry back in my arms

Roll another joint, smoke that pain away, ooh, you got me tore up

Burnin' a candle, I won't eat, drinkin' deep from the well of sin, pickin' the lock, tryin' to break these chains

Ooh, you got me tore up

It's a mass illusion, and it's all-inclusive, take a piece of the pie but don't get it from me

Truth don't cast a shadow, don't speak innuendo, testifyin' to the highest authority

Ooh, you got me tore up, listenin' to all those dreaded songs, envision you will cry back in my arms

Roll another joint, and I keep smokin' and smokin' and smokin' my pain away

Burnin' a candle, I won't eat, drinkin' deep from the well of sin, pickin' the lock, tryin' to break these chains

Ooh, you got me tore up

You got me tore up
