Maybe it's the things I say Maybe I should think before I speak But I thought that I knew enough To know myself and do what's right for me
And these walls I'm buildin' now You used to bring 'em down And the tears I'm cryin' out You used to wipe away
I thought you said it was easy Listenin' to your heart I thought you said I'd be okay So why am I breakin' apart?
Don't wanna be torn Don't wanna be torn Don't wanna be torn Don't wanna be torn
Don't make me have to choose between What I want and what you think I need 'Cause I'll always be your little girl But even little girls have got to dream
Now it all feels like a fight You were always on my side And though lonely I feel now You used to make it go away
I thought you said it was easy Listenin' to your heart I thought you said I'd be okay So why am I breaking apart? Don't wanna be torn
Why is all this so confusing Complicated and consuming? Why does all this make me angry I wanna go back to being happy
The tears I'm crying out You used to wipe away, yeah
I thought you said it was easy Listenin' to your heart (Listenin' to your heart) I thought you said I'd be okay So why am I breakin' apart?
Don't wanna be torn Don't wanna be torn Don't wanna be torn Don't wanna be torn
Don't wanna be torn (Don't wanna be torn) Don't wanna be torn (Don't wanna be torn) Don't wanna be torn Don't wanna be torn (Don't wanna be, don't wanna be)
