Life is rich, but it's way too short
You make a lot of money, but you just want more
I don't need the pain right here in my heart

But I hate every minute when we're so far apart

It was love in a minute, it was love in a flash

It brings me no pleasure, just a stab in the back
It brings me no comfort, it brings me no peace
A weight on my shoulder, it's a fatal disease


So don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your picture again

And don't poison my blood
I don't ever wanna see your face here no more


Gonna finish it quick, gonna finish it clean
Don't wanna be bitter. I don't wanna be mean
I feel like we're driving down a dead-end street

I've come so far I wanna crash the car
I wanna land right on my feet


I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
I said don't tear me up



I don't ever wanna see your face here no more


But I dream of you constantly, you'll be my angel of light
And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness

You'll be my lover each night

Life is a (*##$, it's way too short

Unlike a politician it just can't be bought
Think about the tenderness, and think about the craziness
And if you ever wanna hate me come and

Stick a knife right in my chest

I said don't tear me up

I don't ever wanna see your picture again
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your face here no more


I said don't tear me up
I said don't tear me up

I said don't poison my blood
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
