Tattered & Torn

Silent screams and endless tears

Living through pain all these years

Surviving death only to mourn

Deep inside I’m tattered and torn

So much betrayal and so much defeat

I can’t control the flames or survive the heat

I feel Hells fury of a woman scorned

I am just me, tattered and torn

I’m on the razors edge, but it’s not my decision

Whether I live or make the incision

Living the life of someone better left unborn

I’m lost because I’m tattered and torn

I guess we all die, whether we’re young or old

The lies that you spun now have left me cold

I’m in your embrace, but I don’t feel warm

Don’t expect much, I’m tattered and torn

I’m an ugly, used, and hateful figure

If only your heart had been a little bigger

You always leave me, wasted and worn

But I’ll still be here, tattered and torn
