(Your feminine) fingers are like daggers Tearing me apart, with each caressing stroke My scars unravel cruel history Our love was stab wounds and lusty kisses In your eyes I see wasted tears for wasted years and heartache, heartfelt for granted You left

I'm torn and it's tearing me apart, I want to go but I don't want to break her heart, Like a sword with a double edge blade, It's gonna cut deep either way, This little town that big old world, Go chase my dream and keep the girl, This life is full of

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

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

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?

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

Just the way you look tonight And the way you look tonight Tearing my fears apart And that laugh that wrinkles your nose, Touches my foolish heart Yes you're lovely, never, ever change Keep that breathless charm Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love

Throw me in the slam Catch me if you can That you're wearing Tearing me apart New York City blues East side, West side lose Goin' under, rats in the cellar Goin' under, skin's turnin' yellow

Standing at the end of The final masquerade The light on the horizon Was brighter yesterday Shadows floating over Skies begin to fade You said it was forever But then it slipped away Tearing me apart

(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
