A part of me wants to leave you alone A part of me wants for you to come home A part of me says I'm livin' a lie (and I'm better off without you) A part of me says to think it through A part of me says I'm over you A part of me wants to say good bye A part of me is asking why A part of me wants to leave But a part of me wants to be here with you And every time I think that we're over and done You do something that gets me back lovin' you And you got me just torn [Chorus] Torn in between the two 'Cause I really wanna be with you But something is telling me that I should leave You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone) You got me just torn in between the two 'Cause I really wanna be with you But something is telling me that I should leave You alone (leave you alone, leave you alone) What hurts the most is when we started out It was cool; it was everything that love's about But something happened 'Cause I'm feeling so burned out Because I can't understand you now (I just can't understand you now, no, oh) A part of me says it's all my fault A part of me says he ain't what you want A part of me says to get my bags A part of me says I can't do that A part of me wants to leave But a part of me wants to be here with you And every time I think that it's over and done You make me fall back in love You got me just torn between the two [Chorus] [Bridge] So many times I, I was ready to go So many times I, had my foot out the door So many times I, I thought to give him a chance Thought he'd be a better man Now I'm sitting here, and I'm so confused 'Cause I keep fighting myself for you I don't know how much more I can take But I can't feel this way You got me so torn! [Chorus]
