Tearing Me Apart

i've seen it all before - time and time again

as close as i would ever dare to be

and yet without a doubt - i will disagree

the sudden truth is no surprise to me

i know there is no easy way

i've said it from the start

sometimes you've got to live the life

and feel the pain

i hear a beat inside my head

i feel it in my heart

but just the thought of it is driving me insane

it's tearing me apart

i hear a distant voice - very far away

i'm silent now - i don't know what to say

i've felt a strong desire

to set myself on fire

i don't think that would work for me today

[chorus]
