Stop Tearing Me Apart

written by K. Bluetner, recorded at the Wanhua Village Recorder

So you think – you’re the kind of girl that’s born to be courageous
And you think – that you’ve got that look that makes you so contagious
With your fancy pearls – you walk through your fancy world
Out of all the girls you are the one that keeps me on my toes, so

Stop tearin’ me apart – this can’t go on forever
Stop tearin’ me apart – don’t try to be so clever
You’re just too afraid to open up your restless heart
So stop tearin’ me apart

It’s a crime – when you tell me that you’re far too undecided
Can’t you see – that you broke my heart, I can no longer hide it
It’s no mystery – that you rob me of my sleep
And I wish myself away from here with you and no-one else, so

Stop tearin’ …

Don’t need your hesitation – don’t need your foolish pride
My nervous agitation makes me wanna run and hide

It’s no mystery – that you rob me of my sleep
And I wish myself away from here with you and no-one else, so
Let me be the one

Stop tearin’ me apart – this can’t go on forever
Stop tearin’ me apart – don’t try to be so clever
You’re just too afraid to open up your restless heart
So stop tearin’ me apart
