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

Gonna finish it quick, gonna finish it clean

Don't wanna be bitter.

I don't wanna be mean

I feel like we're driving down a dead-end street

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 *****, it's way too short

Unlike a politician it just can't be bought

Think about the tenderness, and think about the craziness

And 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
