"If She's Torn" lyrics

"If She's Torn"

If I could tell you now
Tell you how I feel
Is that so hard?
When it's all for you
There's so much to leave
There's so much to carry around

Gonna sit now
Gonna sit and watch the night fall
There's nothing more
It takes your breath away
It's all for you
There's so much to carry around

But if she's torn
Put another stitch for me
Give her what she needs and
Put another stitch for me

It doesn't even stir now
No more does it leave
It just performs
It cannot burst with joy
It just takes toil
Hard work and toil

I can't tell you how I feel
When all you've got is company
You're sweating now
It's pouring down your brow
There's nothing here at all
There's only you
There's so much to carry around

But if she's torn
Put another stitch for me
Give her what she needs and
Put another stitch for me

If I could tell you now
Tell you how I feel
I'm putting coin after coin
Just to hear you breath
There's so much to leave
There's so much to carry around

Can't feel any better now
Let your children crawl all over me
Like I need to prove I don't deserve you anyhow
There's so much to leave
There's so much to carry around

But if she's torn
Put another stitch for me
Give her what she needs and
Put another stitch for me
