Tearing Us Apart
Sheryl Crow · Other Songs - Sheryl Crow
I don't know what to do since we've been apart
Why don't you tell me, babe, what is going on?
You know I love you darling, don't want to be alone
They're tearing us apart
They're breaking up my heart
I knew it from the start
Your friends are tearing us apart
You know I can't go on, feeling this old way
You know my heart is burning, it's burning everyday
You know I love you, baby, no one else will do
Why don't you reconsider, do what I want you to?
They're tearing us apart
They're breaking up my heart
I knew it from the start
Your friends are tearing us apart
They're tearing us apart
They're breaking up my heart
I knew it from the start
Your friends are tearing us apart
Your friends are tearing us apart
Tearing us apart
Tearing Us Apart
Sheryl Crow's 'Tearing Us Apart' stands as a defining track from her 1994 self-titled debut album, capturing the raw emotional turbulence of the mid-90s rock landscape. The song blends Crow's signature vocal delivery with a driving, rhythmic rock arrangement that underscores themes of relationship breakdown and personal resilience. Released during a period when she was navigating significant personal challenges, the recording reflects a shift toward a grittier, more mature sound compared to her earlier work. It remains a staple of her discography, often cited as a key example of her ability to fuse pop sensibilities with authentic rock energy. The track has endured as a cultural touchstone, frequently covered and referenced in discussions about 90s alternative rock and the evolution of female vocalists in the genre.
