Tortured

I'd like to make this song so simple

Don't want to hide my feeling under

Drawn up words in shades of many colours

How can I make them think I am clever

By merely saying that I miss you

It's just a state they claim I'm going through

Don't want you to think that I am weakening

Although you know I'm always dreaming

Someday you'll be coming home to me

Tortured, I've been so tortured by you so many times

But you always love the ones that hurt you

And I guess those are the ties that bind

Tortured by you

If I had taken parting easy

It might have been a better lesson

For all concerned in wars of love and hate

How can you swear through words and music

The heart you crave and how to move it

It's just a beach you washed my body onto

Don't want you to know that I an crying

Although your friends can see I'm dying

Slowly from the knife you left in me

Tortured by you

Tortured by you
