Tare Me Apart
Were you there when darkness tore me apart?
I could feel it right from the start
It was a morning of frost and ice
I was empty, not even stirred by the rats or mice
Abandoned the wind had a sinister chill
The mist curled in but there was no thrill
A ghost of your image never left my mind
No solace or comfort could I find
No sound could be heard, the world was asleep
The poison of loneliness cut through me deep
I felt so numb without your touch
I could hardly believe I loved you this much
But now you're gone and I'm alone
My fingers itch to reach for the phone
My eyes sting, my throat is sore
After these tears I can cry no more
Was I bad? I will right any wrongs
If only you would stay and play our songs
I would dance, I would sing, I would leap in the air
If only it ensured you would always be there
I gaze into the rain wondering where you are
Are you gone? Or watching from afar?
I don't know why I gave you my heart
Because today, you tore me apart.
