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 building now You used to bring 'em down And these tears I'm cyin' out You used to wipe away
I thought you said it was easy Listening 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
No one made me have to choose between What I want and what you think i need (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 I'm five You were always on my side And the lonely i feel now You used to make it go way
I thought you said it was easy Listening to your heart I thought you said I'd be okay So why am I breakin' 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 cryin now You used to wipe away
I thought you said it was easy (easy) Listening to your heart (listening to your heart) I thought you said I'd be okay So why am I breaking apart
Don't wanna be torn (don't wanna be) Don't wanna be torn Don't wanna be torn (don't wanna be) Don't wanna be torn
Don't wanna be torn (You wanna be torn) Don't wanna be torn (You wanna be torn) Don't wanna be torn (Don't wanna be) Don't wanna be torn (Don't wanna be)
