Life is rich, but it's way too short You make a lot of money, but you just want more I don't need the pain right here in my heart But I hate every minute when we're 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, it's a fatal disease So don't tear me up I don't ever wanna see your picture again And don't poison my blood I don't ever wanna see your face here no more Gonna finish it quick, gonna finish it clean Don't wanna be bitter. I don't wanna be mean I feel like we're driving down a dead-end street I've come so far I wanna crash the car I wanna land right on my feet I said don't tear me up I don't ever wanna see your picture again I said don't tear me up I don't ever wanna see your face here no more But I dream of you constantly, you'll be my angel of light And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness You'll be my lover each night Life is a bitch, it's way too short Unlike a politician it just can't 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 don't tear me up I don't ever wanna see your picture again I said don't tear me up I don't ever wanna see your face here no more I said don't tear me up I said don't tear me up I said don't poison my blood I don't ever wanna see your picture again
