Torn, by Natalie Imbruglia

Key: F

Lyrics

[Verse]
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well, you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know, seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore

There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine, I'm torn

[Chorus]
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn

[Verse]
So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should've seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins, and now

I don't care, I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch, I'm torn

[Chorus]
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn
Torn (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right, I'm torn

[Chorus]
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed, bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late, I'm already torn
Torn, woah
