#9 - Torn by Natalie Imbruglia

Well, its been a while but I have decided that I want to finish posting the lyrics to the Top 15 breakup songs I posted a while back. It is interesting that I am resuming on this particular song because it is EXACTLY how I've been feeling lately. Torn between the life I want and the life I have...

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn’t be that man I adored
You don’t seem to know, don’t seem to care what your heart is for
But I don’t know him anymore
There’s nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That’s what’s going on, nothing’s fine I’m torn

I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late, I’m already torn

So I guess the fortune teller’s right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now
I don’t care, I have no luck, I don’t miss it all that much
There’s just so many things that I can’t touch, I’m torn

I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late, I’m already torn. torn.

There’s nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That’s what’s going on, nothings right, I’m torn

I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel
I’m cold and I’m ashamed bound and broken on the floor
You’re a little late, I’m already torn

If a man is causing you pain, just have him shot.

LOL...but what happens when it is ME who is causing me pain....Suicide is frowned up and that is what would happen if I had myself shot :-P

I love this song! Particularly:

"Well you couldn’t be that man I adored/You don’t seem to know, don’t seem to care what your heart is for/But I don’t know him anymore"

it is so true about some men.

(Sigh) Yes Annie...even men can be stupid eh? :-)

You do a good job of singing this song too. Just thought I should point that out.

You think so? It makes sense...numerous people have asked me to sing it in the past ;-) Maybe I'll have to try it again next time.
