Don't Tear Me Up

Life is rich

But it's way too short

You make a lot of money

But you just want more

I don't need the pain

Right here in my heart

But I hate every minute

When we're so far apart

It was love in a minute

It was love in a flash

It brings me no pleasure

Just a stab in the back

It brings me no comfort

It brings me no peace

A weight on my shoulder

It's a fatal disease

So don't tear me up

I don't ever wanna see your picture again

And don't poison my blood

I don't ever wanna see your face here no more

Wanna finish it quick

Wanna finish it clean

Don't wanna be bitter

I don't wanna be mean

I feel like I'm driving

Down a dead end street

Yeah, I've come so far, I wanna crash the car

I wanna land right on my feet

I said don't tear me up

I don't ever wanna see your picture again

I said don't tear me up

I don't ever wanna see your face here no more

But I dream of you constantly

You'll be my angel of light

And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness

You'll be my lover each night

Life is a bitch

It's way too short

Unlike a politician

It just can't be bought

Think about the tenderness

And think of all the craziness

But if you ever wanna hate me, come and stick a knife right in my chest

I said don't tear me up

I don't ever wanna see your picture again

I said don't tear me up

I don't ever wanna see your face here no more

I said don't tear me up

I said don't tear me up

I said don't poison my blood

I don't ever wanna see your picture again
