The Mendoza Line Lyrics
"My Tattered Heart and Torn Parts"

The season's gonna change before we know it
And you say that your feelings might change too
And I don't want to hear o that nonsense ringing in my ears
And I'm not gonna cry because of you

I like it when you tell me what you're thinking
I love the way you kiss when you've been drinking
I love the way we wrestle on the floor to stand up bruised
But I hate the way I wake up feeling used

And my broken tongue and sad lips
Have nothing left to say
My tattered heart and torn parts
Are only in your way

I'd rather not feel pain than be your lover
I'd rather be your lover than your friend
I'd rather wrap these arms around
Your cold heart than have nothing
I'd rather be dead blind than see the end

And my broken tongue and sad lips
Have nothing left to say
My tattered heart and torn parts
Will make you go away
