Torn Songtext
von The Devil Said Jump

I′d hate to run into anyone
Who called me by my old name
Tell them that I lost it all
That I'll never again be the same

That now I sing to make my dad proud
And I smile to look like my mom
I′m a daughter of the dirt
I carry my home with me like a song

I wasn't made for quiet days
I'd rather try my best and fail
Maybe I′ll take the train to nowhere
Maybe I′ll ride the rails

How many eyes that look like mine
Have called me begging
Megan, please come home
I tore my heart in half so long ago


And now I'm torn
Between a lonely city life and my home
And when she calls
Everything in me wants to go
But I don′t belong

Well, I'd hate to run into anyone
Who knows I′m living a lie
Tell them that I'm not ashamed, I did
What I had to do to survive

But now I don′t call my family
I'm afraid they'll never be proud of me
That I traded my name
To be broke and alone on Christmas Eve

I really tried to bat my eyes
To compromise, to make myself small
But I couldn′t bend, not for no man
Not even for my mom

And now I′m torn
Between a lonely city life and my home
And when she calls
Everything in me wants to go
But I don't belong


Well maybe I′ll always be lonely
And I'll always need to be free
Maybe they′r'll always be
A little bit of both inside me

Racing against the Eastern tide
Like wild horses running in the wind
My family′s always been kind
I know they'll understand
If I hand them my pieces
They put me back together again

And so I'm torn
Between a lonely city life and my home
And when she calls
Everything in me wants to go
But I don′t belong
