lyrics

Ripped & Torn

Verse 1:

If nothing really mattered, would you look at things the same.
Outside in the winter cold, or standing in the rain.
Well every time I feel about this, empty heart of mine.
I struggle just to find words but there's few words left to find.

Chorus:

It might be different, some other time.
And I must remember this, or surely lose my mind.

Verse 2:

They never said it's easy, but I looked at it that way.
I only wanna give my love, so don't take my love away.
Ripped and torn, these blues are worn like a faded pair of jeans.
Well lately I'm talking in my sleep and I don't know what that means.

Chorus:

It might be different, some other time.
and I must remember this, or surely lose my mind.
And I don't know why, I feel the way I do...
cause if it were different, I would have never known you.

LEAD

Verse 3:

Well lately things are better, but I needed it that way.
I'll turn off all my feelings, and pretend that I'm ok.
I know that I'm stronger now, and I know what I must do.
But I can't walk away from this, never looking back at you.

Chorus:

It might be different, some other time.
and I must remember this, or surely lose my mind.
And I don't know why, I feel the way I do...
cause if it were different, I would have never known you.

And it might be different, some other time.
and I must remember this, or surely lose my mind.
And I don't know why, I feel the way I do...
cause if it were different, I would have never known you.
