Life is rich, but its way too short
You make a lot of money, but you just want more
I dont need the pain right here in my heart
But I hate every minute when were so far apart

It was love in a minute, it was love in a flash
It brings me no pleasure, just a stab in the back
It brings me no comfort, it brings me no peace
A weight on my shoulder, its a fatal disease

So dont tear me up
I dont ever wanna see your picture again
And dont poison my blood
I dont ever wanna see your face here no more

Gonna finish it quick, gonna finish it clean
Dont wanna be bitter. I dont wanna be mean
I feel like were driving down a dead-end street
Ive come so far I wanna crash the car
I wanna land right on my feet

I said dont tear me up
I dont ever wanna see your picture again
I said dont tear me up
I dont ever wanna see your face here no more

But I dream of you constantly, youll be my angel of light
And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness
Youll be my lover each night

Life is a bitch, its way too short
Unlike a politician it just cant be bought
Think about the tenderness, and think about the craziness
And if you ever wanna hate me come and
Stick a knife right in my chest

I said dont tear me up
I dont ever wanna see your picture again
I said dont tear me up
I dont ever wanna see your face here no more

I said dont tear me up
I said dont tear me up
I said dont poison my blood
I dont ever wanna see your picture again
