Tearin' Up My Heart
N'Sync · N'Sync (US)
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart I feel it too
And no matter what I do I feel the pain
With or without you
Baby I don't understand
Just why we can't be lovers
Things are gettin' out of hand
Tryin' too much but baby we can win
Let it go
If you want me girl let me know
I am down on my knees
I can't take it anymore
Chorus
It's tearing up my heart when I'm with you
but when we are apart I feel it too
and no matter what I do I feel the pain
with or without you
Baby don't misunderstand
What I'm tryin' to tell ya
In the corner of my mind
Baby it feels like we're running out of time
Let it go
If you want me girl let me know
I am down on my knees
I can't take it anymore
Chorus
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
but when we are apart I feel it too
And no matter what I do I feel the pain
With or without you
Tearin' up my heart and soul
we're apart I feel it too
And no matter what I do
I feel the pain with or without you
Repeat the above
Chorus
And no matter what I do
I feel the pain with or without you
