You tore my heart out
My human heart out
You ripped it from the bone
You left a hole there
A burning hole there
An ache I've never known
I've torn some arms off
I've torn some heads off
I've behaved quite violently
But that despair now
Cannot compare now
To what you've done to me
You, you tore my heart out
I thought you could see
The simple person in me
I thought you saw the truth within
It's me against the world
And it looks like the world is gonna win
And so I end here
As I began here
A soul whose hard to love
It's kind of funny
But for a moment
I was the man you dreamed of
Now that dream has died
So how can I stay?
I guess I'll have to save the world some other day
I wish you well now
I understand now
You did what you had to
But you tore my heart out
My human heart out
And that's the worst thing you could do
That's the worst thing you could do
