Natalie Imbruglia - Torn Lyrics




[ Originally by Ednaswap ]

I thought, I saw a man brought to life
+
He was warm, he came around and he was dignified
+
He showed me what it was to cry
+
Well, you couldn't be that man I adored
+
You don't seem to know
+
Seem to care what your heart is for
+
But I don't know him anymore
+
There's nothing where he used to lie
+
The conversation has run dry
+
That's what's going on
+
Nothing's fine, I'm torn
+
I'm all out of faith
+
This is how I feel
+
I'm cold and I am shamed
+
Lying naked on the floor
+
Illusion never changed
+
Into something real
+
I'm wide awake and I can see
+
The perfect sky is torn
+
You're a little late, I'm already torn
+
So I guess the fortune teller's right
+
Should have seen just what was there
+
And not some holy light
+
It crawled beneath my veins
+
And now I don't care, I had no luck
+
I don't miss it all that much
+
There's just so many things
+
That I can touch, I'm torn
+
I'm all out of faith
+
This is how I feel
+
I'm cold and I am shamed
+
Lying naked on the floor
+
Illusion never changed
+
Into something real
+
I'm wide awake and I can see
+
The perfect sky is torn
+
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn
+
There's nothing where he used to lie
+
My inspiration has run dry
+
That's what's going on
+
Nothing's right, I'm torn
+
I'm all out of faith
+
This is how I feel
+
I'm cold and I am shamed
+
Lying naked on this floor
+
Illusion never changed
+
Into something real
+
I'm wide awake and I can see
+
The perfect sky is torn
+
I'm all out of faith
+
This is how I feel
+
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
+
Bound and broken on the floor
+
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn
+

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


"Torn" is a song written by Scott Cutler, Anne Preven—who composed all of the lyrics—and Phil Thornalley in 1991 as a solo song for Preven. It was recorded and performed live during this period, but not given its first formal release until 1993, when Danish singer Lis Sørensen released the song in Danish under the title "Brændt" ([pʁænˀt], meaning 'burnt').

In 1997, Australian singer and actress Natalie Imbruglia, working with Thornalley, covered the song for her debut studio album, Left of the Middle (1997). Imbruglia's version was recorded in Kilburn, London, with David Munday (lead guitar), Thornalley (bass, rhythm guitars), Chuck Sabo (drums), Henry Binns, Sam Hardaker (Zero 7) (drum programming) and Katrina Leskanich (background vocals). It was mixed by Nigel Godrich. Released as a single, Imbruglia's version became a worldwide hit.

For the song, Imbruglia received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, losing to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On". The accompanying music video for "Torn" features British actor Jeremy Sheffield.

Imbruglia also recorded an acoustic version of the song in 2001 for MTV Unplugged. The sheet music for "Torn" is published in the key of F major.
