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
