Natalie Imbruglia | Torn

I thought I saw a man brought to life 
He was warm 
He came around 
And he was dignified 
He showed me what it was to cry 

Well you couldn’t be that man I adored 
You don’t seem to know 
Or seem to care 
What your heart is for 
I don’t know him anymore 

There’s nothin’ where he used to lie 
My conversation has run dry 
That’s what’s going on 
Nothings right 
I’m torn 

I’m all out of faith 
This is how I feel 
I’m cold and I am shamed 
Lying naked on the floor 
Illusion never changed 
Into something real 
I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn 
You’re a little late 
I’m already torn 

So I guess the fortune tellers right 
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light 
But you crawled beneath my veins 
And now, I don’t care 
I have no luck 
I don’t miss it all that much 
There’s just so many things 
That I can’t touch 
I’m torn

used to be quite in love with this song.. can’t believe it was 1997, 12 years ago

Sarah McLachlan - Fallen

Heaven bent to take my hand 
And lead me through the fire 
Be the long awaited answer 
To a long and painful fight 

Truth be told I’ve tried my best 
But somewhere along the way 
I got caught up in all there was to offer 
And the cost was so much more than I could bear 

Though I’ve tried, I’ve fallen… 
I have sunk so low 
I have messed up 
Better I should know 
So don’t come round here 
And tell me I’ve told you so… 

We all begin with good intent 
Love was raw and young 
We believed that we could change ourselves 
The past could be undone 
But we carry on our backs the burden 
Time always reveals 
The lonely light of morning 
The wound that would not heal 
It’s the bitter taste of losing everything 
That I have held so dear. 

Heaven bent to take my hand 
Nowhere left to turn 
I’m lost to those I thought were friends 
To everyone I know 
Oh they turned their heads embarassed 
Pretend that they don’t see 
But it’s one missed step 
You’ll slip before you know it 
And there doesn’t seem a way to be redeemed
