Tear it Out

Verse 1:
I walk beneath the streetlights casting
thoughts of you against the dark –
just an endless shadow asking
why you chose to break my heart.
Love is just the North Star glowing
out of reach, but still in sight.
A tiny pin of hope that’s poking
holes into the dark of night.

Chorus:
Sometimes I wonder where the love’s all gone
I can’t seem to find any for my own.
Sometimes I wonder what this heart’s about.
I think I’d feel better if I tear it out.
Tear it out.
Tear it out.

Verse 2:
I dialed the number she gave me. I'd scribbled it upon my mind –
the code to a green-eyed fantasy, I doodled ‘til my ink ran dry.
The lady on the phone was real nice, she said, "call back any time at all".
Jenny hasn't lived here for years but, I still enjoy the calls.

Chorus:
Sometimes I wonder where the love’s all gone–
I can’t seem to find any for my own.
Sometimes I wonder what this heart’s about.
I think I’d feel better if I tear it out.
Tear it out.
Tear it out.

Bridge:
I can't blame Lisa and I can't blame Sue.
It's not their fault I'm feeling blue.
My heart’s not broken ‘cause of what they did.
It's because of what happened inside my head.
I know it's trouble when my mind selects
only the things my heart projects.
By now I ought to know the warning signs,
but a desp’rit heart controls my mind.

Chorus:
Sometimes I wonder where the love’s all gone–
I can’t seem to find any for my own.
Sometimes I wonder what this heart’s about.
I think I’d feel better if I tear it out.
Tear it out.
Tear it out.

Tag:
I walk beneath the streetlights casting
thoughts of you against the dark –
just an endless shadow asking
why you chose to break my heart.
