​​​​tear me apart (Live On Speak No Evil, Boston, MA, November 11, 2021)

[Intro]
Still here, we out here, uh
Yeah, I just played with the band, Business As Unusual medley
Um, right now it’s just gonna be me and the piano
Kinda like the older days, I guess, I don’t know
But I’m gonna play a song
This is actually the last song I’ve put out, or, the most recent song I’ve put out
Which came out July 26th, 2019, so I’ve been … a lil’ inactive
But, we’re just gonna let it-, we’re just gonna do it, we’re just gonna do it
If everything’s, if everything’s chill
It’s good? Alright
This song’s called tear me apart, let’s do it

[Verse 1]
I've been having chest pains as of recent
All those times that I tried to conceal it
Baby, I'm shedding tears as I speak this
I don't know if you hear me, I don't know if you see me
Well, I spent way too long trying to figure out what you're thinking
Say what you mean, don't hide it from me
Yeah, I spent way too long trying to figure out what you're feeling
I was weak in the knees, now I'm bursting at the seams

[Chorus]
You're tearing me apart
And the worst part's you ain't even trying
You're tearing me apart
And the worst part's you ain't even trying

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay in my arms for just another second
Don't go just yet, don't go just yet
Stay in my arms for just another minute
Don't go just yet, don't leave me

[Chorus]
You're tearing me apart
Feel a dagger driven in my heart
Baby, please don't keep me in the dark
Maybe it's my fault
Wish that I could go back in time
And tell you how I felt from the start
But even when I did, you were never real with me
And even if you were, I could never feel cheery, no
I'm a wreck, it makes sense that you wouldn't want me
You shouldn't want me

You're tearing me apart
And the worst part's you ain't even trying
You're tearing me apart
And the worst part's you ain't even trying
Oh, you're tearing me apart
And the worst part's you ain't even trying
You're tearing me apart
And the worst part's you ain't even trying
But I still love you

[Outro]
Oh woah, oh oh oh oh
Oh no no no, ooh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
