Torn Apart Lyrics

In my last life a couple years ago

I wrote an ode to a distant friend I’ll never really know

Responding to my fear that she was falling through the net

In words I don’t remember and I cannot forget

She said it’s kind of you to ask of me

But my legs still move and my eyes still see

And this job I have lets me use my brain

They treat me well so I can’t complain

I get out on weekends and I’m grateful for my friends

And it feels like a real life is just beyond the band

I’m alright, what can I say?

And I’m torn apart every day

Well I read those words, they left no chains

Cause I was never the source of her pain

And it came that time when I had no doubt

Thought that I had discovered a real way out

And it seemed like such a waste

And I spun out of control in this line of souls

Willing to burn the years away

Being torn apart every day

But times change, worlds end

That’s not news

And what was once clear is once again confused

People stop me on the street

They ask if I'm okay

I'm not sure how much they want to hear

Or how much I want to say

So I say it's kind of you to ask of me

But my legs still move and my eyes still see

And this job I have lets me use my brain

They treat me well so I can't complain

I get out on weekends and I’m grateful for my friends

It feels like a real life is just around the band

And what I feel, what I don’t say

Is that I’m torn apart every day
