Torn – Jennifer Buergermeister

I heard this song last night with my family – reminds me of a long lost love, a man who cannot find his way deep into me. Through the thicket no way out, yet to find true love, he has yet to learn to love himself no doubt.

I’m torn to help a man be the man he yearns to be, or walk away and leave him in his ghostly, narrow plea.

I am a spiritual, devoted and a patient woman, but enough is enough. Love shouldn’t be a land so tough.

A heart can only take so much before it is simply time to let the bird fly. I should wish him well in his journey as I am to tired to cry.

Just like I couldn’t help my mom though I loved her so, perhaps it is simply time to let him also go.

Torn

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, don’t seem to care
What your heart is for
No I don’t know him anymore

There’s nothin’ where we used to lie
Conversation has run dry
That’s what’s going on
Nothing’s fine

I’m torn
I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel
I’m cold and I’m 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

So I guess the fortune teller’s right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins
And now I don’t care
I have no luck
I don’t miss it all that much
There’s just so many things
That I can’t touch

There’s nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That’s what is goin’ on
Nothin’s right

I’m torn
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

song by Natalie Imbruglia
