Torn -- by Ann Marie Pincivero

This is a song about falling in love, so deep, so fast and feeling overwhelmed -- torn between the fear and the excitement, the joy and the pain that comes from giving your heart to someone, not knowing how it will turn out. You are vulnerable and afraid of getting hurt. At the same time, there is no joy like falling in love. It's intoxicating. You feel so alive.

The pace of the song is quick and relentless, with the words flowing constantly, with not much space to breathe. This reflects the urgent mood of the song. The singer longs for the beloved, feels out of control, can't sleep. Her mind is racing.  

Here are the lyrics, in case you can't make them out: 

Torn (Copyright 2010 Ann Marie Pincivero)

I don't want to need someone this much, to feel like I can never have enough. To feel a constant longing in my soul, to feel so raw and out of control. I don't want to cry myself to sleep, worrying you're just too good to keep, worrying my fortune's bound to change and like a dream you'll fade away.

Chorus: But I don't want to lose this bliss, this rush, the pounding in my heart babe when we touch. I'm in the clouds. I'm on a bed of thorns. Baby, baby I'm torn.

I don't want to feel so weak, so scared. My heart is in your hands, my dreams laid bare. To feel I've put my whole life on the line and I'll fall apart if you ain't mine. I don't want to love so deep, so fast and worry something this good just can't last, 'cause nothing this sweet ever happens to me. I can't go back to where I used to be.

Chorus

Bridge: Do I run away from what I want because I'm scared to lose it? If happiness is a choice then can I choose it?

I don't want to lay awake for hours. I don't want to give up all my power. So afraid to fall, afraid to trust, afraid to lose myself in us. I don't want a rollercoaster ride, don't want to be washed out by the tide. Don't want to play with fire and be burned. Don't want another painful lesson learned.

Chorus

Thanks for giving my song a chance! I've been a singer/songwriter for several years and have close to 500 songs. I can't stop writing! This is what I love to do and it's my dream that one day it's what I'll do for a living!

It is me in the video performing my song, in my room. The artwork in the background is my own (I paint as well.) Thanks for watching/listening! :)

Cheers,

Ann Marie
