Torn
Natalie Imbruglia · Glorious - The Singles 97-07 [2007]
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 that I adored
You don't seem to know or seem to care what your heart is for
I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
Our 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
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
But you crawled 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
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's 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
Torn
Oh
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Torn
