Torn Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Peace is what they tell me
Love, am I unholy?

[Pre-Chorus]
Lies are what they tell me
Despise you that control me

[Chorus]
The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions poor
Yes, I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far

[Verse 2]
Torn, I'm filthy
Born in my own misery

[Pre-Chorus]
Stole all that you gave me
Control, you claim you save me

[Chorus]
The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions poor
Yes, I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far
[Bridge]
Peace in my head
Love in my head
Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies!
In my head!

[Chorus]
The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions poor
Yes, I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far

[Outro]
The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions poor
Yes, I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The song speaks of singer Scott Stapp’s childhood and strict upbringing. He put up with a lot of from his parents and I like to think that this song is somewhat of a message composed of anger directed to them, just like Dyer’s Eve by Metallica.
