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?

(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

The sickness of this world is destroying all the dreams The fools are kings, tearing apart the soul The race for complication, communicate reaction The lack of heart of men, I grow distant from the core Borrow this body for a lifetime, earthly material

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

Don't turn around 'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking I don't want you seeing me cry Just walk away It's tearing me apart that you're leaving I'm letting you go But I won't let you know I'm gonna be strong I'm gonna do fine Don't worry about this

Your six blade knife can do anything for you Anything you want it to One blade for breaking my heart One blade for tearing me apart Your six blade knife-do anything for you You can take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin When you come up

Oh lightning strikes twice And it burns like ice I wish I didn't love you again That zig-zag shooting through my heart That zig-zag hit me like a dart Electricity, electricity Oh, this love's tearing me apart I been running like the light from the dark

Come shine my way May healing waters bury all my pain Carry me home The fabric of reality is tearing apart The piece of me that died Will return To live again

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
