[Verse 1]
   FI thought I saw a man brought to lifAme
He was warm, he came around like he was dBbignified
He showed me what it was to cry
  FWell you couldn't be that man I adoredAm  
You don't seem to know
Don't seem to care what your Bbheart is for
But I don't know him anymore
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There's Dmnothing where he used to lie
  CMy conversation has run dry
  AmThat's what's going on
  CNothing's fine
I'm toFrn
[Chorus 1]
  FI'm all out of faithC, this is how I fDmeel
I'm cold and I am Bbshamed, lying naked on the Ffloor
Illusion never Cchanged, into something Dmreal
I'm wide awake and BbI can see, the perfect sky is toFrn
You're a little lCate, I'm already toDmrnC  Bb  
[Verse 2]
  FSo I guess the fortune teller's rightAm  
I should have seen just what was there and not some Bbholy light
But you crawl beneath my veins and now
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't Dmcare, I have no luck
   CI don't miss it all that much
  AmThere's just so many things
  CThat I can't touch
I'm toFrn
[Chorus 2]
  FI'm all out of faithC, this is how I fDmeel
I'm cold and I am Bbshamed, lying naked on the Ffloor
Illusion never Cchanged, into something Dmreal
I'm wide awake and BbI can see, the perfect sky is toFrn
You're a little lCate, I'm already toDmrnC  Bb

The story behind the song

"Torn" captures the feeling of disillusionment when a relationship crumbles, revealing a different reality than what was once believed. It speaks to the pain of realizing that the person you thought you knew, the "man brought to life," was not who they seemed. Natalie Imbruglia's 1997 debut single, originally written by Scott Cutler, Anne Preven, and Phil Thornalley, became a global hit. At its heart, it's a song about being emotionally broken and adrift, past the point of repair.

Don't seem to care what your heart is for

But I don't know him anymore

There's just so many things

That I can't touch
