Tearin’ Out My Heart Lyrics

Rainbow

First time I saw your face
By your side was the place
That I would wanna be
Sometimes and I dont know why
Love can come or it can pass you by
Now you take all the love you gave to me
(you take it from me)
Youre tearin out my heart
Oh -
Never thought Id see the day
You would throw my love away
And oh...its killing me
One thing youll never know
How it hurts to let you go
As you turn and walk away from me..
(walk away)
Youre tearin out my heart
Feel like I been ripped apart..
Youre tearin out my heart...
Daybreaks I try to be free
But your memory is haunting me
Oh - theres nothing I can do
All alone in the candlelight
I see your face again tonight
And I feel all the emptiness without you
(without you) tearin out my heart
Oh, I feel like I been ripped apart...
Tearin out my heart...
Whoa...my heart
