I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came around and he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Or seem to care what your heart is for
Well I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care
I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Torn
hoooooooooo hoohooooooo oooooooo
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn

I want to find a CD by Ednaswap that has this song on it, because the lyrics are so cool!
I don't watch music videos, because they ruin the images you get when you listen to the song.
That's all I want to say.
The Original Artist of This Song | Reviewer: Ace Kombat | 12/21/08
I would like to inform anyone who likes this that Natalie Imbruglia did NOT write this and I encourage you to listen to it performed by the original artist who actually lived through this and wrote her experience. Her name is Anne Preven (previously of the band Annetenna) and you can listen to her perform it here.
Feel free to email me (please do) and let me know you checked it out if you enjoy it, because it makes me happy to know that Anne is getting at least *some* credit/exposure for this beautifully written masterpiece which was bought out by corporate america and sold to the masses via a poppy barbie doll who has no authentic understanding of such matters. Nothing personal against Natalie; everyone has to make a buck; but she could've gave more credit to the writer, don't you think?
idk, this song is gorgeous. but your right the video does kind of kill it. it makes no sense' the lyrics are amazing. i think im going to give them to this one guy who has broken my heart so that he knows this is goodbye and he wont come back. i love music, theyre how i get my faith back. thanks for this beautiful song to add to my collection natalie/
the song that will remain a favourite for a long while! | Reviewer: Julian | 2/25/08
Im obviously male, and even though this song is sung by a female where she has been heart broken by a guy....i still seem to love this song....one of my favourites....its universal in nature and can be related across both the sexes. the most important facet of this song is that we are currently in the yr 2008....and the song was released in 1998 so still at 10 years down the track the song continues to be downloaded and listened to by many, thus showing its endless nature...
Good song, good singer and good video! :D | Reviewer: Roxy :3 | 1/24/08
Oh, I think the lyrics are just real.. it really happens.. when people change.. and you got torn.. natalie's voice is very sweet and expressive, so I think that is perfect for this song.. and the video is just the same.. simple, sad but true.. it happens, and everything falls like a TV set when the program is over.. Totally love this song! >:3!
Chang, the version that Previn sang on Howard Stern is by far and away the best cover. She wrote the song for her band at the time, Edna Swap, and sang it as it was meant to be heard. I downloaded the version from Stern several years ago and it's the only version I can listen to.
For Chang - the songwriter of "Torn" who performed on Howard Stern is Ann Previn. I agree 100%- her version is THE BEST and a million times better than Natalie Imbuglia. I wish Howard would sell a CD of live performances in his studio because there are a few that are AMAZING that you can't find anywhere else!
a classic from the 90's | Reviewer: Aura | 10/5/07
