(Tearing myself apart) from the things that make me hurt Something aches Bad things slither My floors are burning down And I can't find a window This is medieval This is cerebral

Who do you think you are? Runnin' 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul And tearing love apart And now you want me one more time So don't come back for me Don't come back for me

Death on two legs You're tearing me apart You suck my blood like a leech You break the law and you preach Screw my brain till it hurts You've taken all my money And you want more Misguided old mule with your pig headed rules With your narrow minded

The bleeding The screaming, was tearing me apart I'm better off without you and you're better off without me The beatings I remember when all the games began

Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart Please have mercy on me Take it easy on my heart Even though you don't mean to hurt me You keep tearing me apart I'm saying baby Would you please have mercy on me I'm a puppet on your string And even though

And I can't tell you why I can't tell you why Every time I try to walk away Something makes me turn around and stay Look at us baby, up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who live Through years in the dark?

Tearing me apart Oh it's tearing me apart, all this pain inside Liquor in my veins, panic on my mind Tearing me apart, all this pain inside Searching for the peace I will never find Oh it's tearing me apart Smoke in my lungs, liquor in my veins Fear in

It's like a heatwave burning in my heart (It's like a heatwave) I can't keep from crying Tearing me apart (Ooh, ooh heatwave) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh, he's gonna love her)

Who do you think you are? Runnin' 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul And tearing love apart And now you want me one more time So don't come back for me Don't come back for me

(Na na na na na) With him slow dancing Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see But I see you Whenever you Kiss him, I'm breaking, Oh how I wish that was me Oh how I wish Oh how I wish, that was me
