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
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
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
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.
