From the recording Will It Never End
Love's Tearing Me Apart is a song I co-wrote with Stephanie Lewis and Jimmy Bralower. I love the opening lyric. I'm singing and Jimmy Bralower is playing drums. Maria Christensen is singing BGVs. Mark Rivera is on sax.
Lyrics
Love’s Tearing Me Apart
Never thought you’d be
Introducing me
As just another friend
I could barely speak
Shattered as you kissed my cheek
And he shook my hand
Somehow my heart believed you’d be coming back
But the way you look at him
Tells me I can’t win
And all this love’s tearing me apart
And the way you look at me
Tells me you don’t see
That all this love’s tearing me apart
So this is the way
That you spent your days
Getting over us
While I kept the faith
‘Cause no one else could take your place
No one means that much
Somehow my heart believed
You’d be coming back, coming back to me
Chorus
I know I’ve got to let you go
It’s just the hardest thing
I’ve ever had to do
solo
Somehow my heart believed
You’d be coming back, coming back to me
Chorus
