Torn

Natalie Imbruglia · Glorious - The Singles 97-07 [2007]

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 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
