Hands Like Houses - Torn Lyrics






I thought I saw a girl brought to life,
She was warm, she came around
And she was dignified.
She showed me what it was to cry.

I couldn't be the man to adore.
You don't seem to know,
Or seem to care what my heart is for.
But I don't know you anymore.

There's nothing where you used to lie,
The conversation has run dry.
That's what's going on,
Nothing's 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 teller's right,
I should have seen
Just what was there
And not some holy light.

It crawled beneath my veins and now
I don't care, I had no luck,
I don't miss it all that much.
There's just so many things
That I can touch, 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.

Torn.

There's nothing where you used to lie,
My inspiration has run dry.
That's what's going on,
Nothing's 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.

I'm all out of faith,
This is how I feel.
I'm cold and I am shamed,
Bound and broken on the floor.
Illusion never changed,
Into something real.
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn.

    Originally performed by Ednaswap. Ednaswap was a rock band from Los Angeles, United States, that existed between 1993 and 1998. Over a span of five years, the band released four major label records on East West, Elektra Records and Island Records. The band is known for their song "Torn", which appeared on their debut album.

  65. W.... s....

    ... only that it's a cover of a cover. It was written in 1993, recorded by Ednaswap in 1995, and covered by Natalie Imbruglia in 1997.

    W.... s....

    Recorded in 1993 by Lis Sørensen - Ednaswap's is also a cover of a danish song

    W.... s....

    Yes, I found out when I googled the year it was recorded by Ednaswap. Is Lis Sørensen's version also in English, or is it in Danish? @Michael Nielsen
