Pop Evil - Torn To Pieces Lyrics






Here I sit all alone like an airplane
On the edge of a sky full of solid gray
Staring at the ceiling, tell me that I'm dreaming
Oh, I wish you were here today
All these days that I know I'll never get back
All the words that I always wish you would've said
All these dreams that we had now fade to black
Try to wash it away

I'm torn to pieces, I'm broken down
I still see your face when you're not around
I sit here in misery wondering if I'll ever be
Half the man you wanted me to be

Here I float through the air like a waterfall
Then I sink to the bottom like a cannonball
Having trouble breathing, suddenly I'm screaming,
"Why wasn't I good enough?"
Even though I know you're not gonna come back
I can't wash it away

I'm torn to pieces, I'm broken down
I still see your face when you're not around
I sit here in misery wondering if I'll ever be
Half the man you wanted me to be

I'm torn to pieces, I'm broken down
I still see your face when you're not around
I sit here in misery wondering if I'll ever be
Half the man you wanted me to be

It's tearing me to pieces
Tearing me to pieces
It's tearing me to pieces
Tearing me to pieces

Even though I know you're not coming back
I can't wash it away

I'm torn to pieces, I'm broken down
I still see your face when you're not around
I sit here in misery wondering if I'll ever be
Half the man you wanted me to be

I'm torn to pieces, I'm broken down
(I'm torn to pieces)
I still see your face when you're not around
(I'm torn to pieces)
I sit here in misery wondering if I'll ever be
Half the man you wanted me to be

    I sit here listening to this over and over. I lost my role model in 2000 and have questioned everything myself and family stood for. Been battling alcohol addiction for as long as I can remember. Watched everything including my son leave my life. I feel this song on more than one level.

  14. K.... H....

    Okay so this is the first time I've ever heard this group or this song but he makes me think when he sings why you sound it's a mix between two singers and it's the lead singer from Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chad Kroeger from Nickelback it's like the mixed together The Stylist always something that Chad Kroeger would do but the guy singing this sounds a bit like the lead singer of The Red Hot Chili Peppers sorta kinda not fully but sorta

    This song really hit me hard and I just discovered it recently... My ex which was the love of my life died of cancer two years ago and I struggled with alcohol ever since. This song puts me in tears every time I hear it because I hope I'm becoming the man she wanted me to be.

  23. l.... d....

  28. G.... R....

    I lost my dad yesterday to cancer

  29. K.... J....

    I first heard this song on my way to my moms house to meet everyone after she passed away in 2014, I balled the whole way there. I was there when she passed, broke my heart into a million pieces. Every time I hear this song I always think of her, she was my best friend, we were very close. She suffered from pancreatic cancer. She was a fighter all the way till the end . Mom I love you and miss you even more.

  30. L.... W....

    I hate you, isabelle. I love you, my best ex friend

  31. C.... G....

    I lost my daddy in 2012. Q whole has been ripped off my heart. Thank you for this song, because I feel the exact same

  32. C.... D....

    Lost my dad June 2016, I was on my third year locked up of my 5 i had. Ill never forget the last thing he said to me. " son i love you and im proud of you I'm holding on and ill see you when you come home". The next morning the call me to the main office for one of the worst phone calls I ever hax to make. Everytime ihear this song, i sit and think how would he look at me now. Married 2 step kids. Lost is hard but i know where ever he is he is smiling on me helping me couching me.

  33. D.... S....

    This song hits way to close to home. My father had surgery and passed away alone in the middle of the night. My anxiety of hospitals made me leave instead of staying, got the call early in the morning that he passed. To this day and forever my anxiety has been replaced with guilt and regret for not facing one of my demons, and losing more than I thought I had to lose at that moment of my life. Let my lesson teach you that if you have not gone through this to not make my mistake and take for granted what you have like I did.

  34. B.... J....

    I'm just keep thinking about my grandfather wonderful man I miss talking to him every Sunday during football I miss u grandpa so much its crazy

  35. D.... S....

    Watched this video over a hundred times, and shed a hundred tears, still have not won one viewing of it in the last 10 years since my father passed away.

  36. D.... H....

    This videoshoot is in Berlin/Germany at 2:44

  37. K.... l....

    This song will always remind me of grandpa perry, i will always miss him RIP, and i am so happy i saw them do this live 2018, and i hope to see them again and again....

  38. i.... ....

    December 13 1984. 11 years old. It never stops hurting.

  39. P.... L....

    Damn I love and miss my grandpa.

  40. K.... ....

    Anyone got recommendations for other songs like this? I'm trying to make a Spotify playlist

    K.... ....

    Avenged Sevenfold - So Far Away, Alter Bridge - Wonderful Life

    K.... ....

    Gone away : Offspring, wish you were here : pink Floyd, those are in my play list for my dads memory.

  41. d.... g....

    First time I heard this I broke down in tears because i wish i was better to my grandmother.i miss her

  42. K.... ....

    My grandpa passed away a few years back from a heart attack, this song makes me hope I'm at least half of what he hoped I'd be. But the thing that hurts the most is feeling like I know I'm not even close.

    K.... ....

    Same here man. My grandpa passed in 2004 when I was just a child. All I have are stories. No memories. I wonder if I turned out anything like he wanted me to.

  43. D.... G....

    Damn my emotions run wild every time i jam to this song.....

  44. B.... M....

    My dad and mom both passed away the day before Memorial Day exactly 12 hours apart and 4 weeks ago my wife’s grandpa passed away. 2019 isn’t a good year for me. It sucks losing people that you’re close to. I’ll never be the same without them. They really did make me the man that I am today.

  45. A.... W....

    This hit home hard

  46. A.... S....

    I listen to this song when I miss my best friend and father

  47. D.... M....

    sucks to be you

  48. C.... L....

    Never had an actual dad, but I guess the absence is still valid. Didn’t think I could miss something I never knew.

    C.... L....

    Sometimes that's when you miss it the most, cuz you want to know what it's like to have it

  49. a.... p....

    When my mom past I wore tbis song out good song

  50. C.... L....

    This makes me think of my grandma and grandpa....I miss them so much and just want to make them proud <3 .

  51. G.... H....

    Held my bestfriends lifeless body in my arms yesterday. Didn't hit me fully until I listened to this song. Now I lay here weeping, wanting her back. Life sucks. Shits unfair.

  52. D.... ....

    Trying to look cool smoking a cigar. LOL. FAIL.
    Any dude that sucks on anything is a beta cuck. Real men don't have mouth fixations, punk.

  53. J.... W....

    My mom passed away in April of 2014. I heard this song the first time on the way home from the hospital the night she passed. I've listened to it at least 100 times since then, I can't get through the first verse without crying. I know the pain he feels. I've lost both parents now. I don't know how he can perform this song live without breaking down.

  54. J.... B....

    Wow!!! well arranged well pute together clever--- kool jam

  55. N.... B....

    This is a beautiful song to a dad

  56. S.... M....

    I miss my meme which is my mom's mom and I was 6 when she died so this song is a good representation of people getting over death

  57. D.... L....

    Wow ....

  58. C.... G....

    It's only after you have lose everything you truly fear nothing!!!!!

  59. C.... R....

    Lost my grandpa in September and this song is so real

  60. J.... J....

    This song is what I listened to when my granddaughter died unexpectedly. So if anyone from the band sees this thank you. Your song helped me through a dark time.

  61. S.... S....

    art.....

  62. J.... B....

    Please come to Australia !!! I lost my father in 2015 and I get goose bumps every time I hear this song! I love you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  63. R.... D....

    i would like to dedicate this song to my mom

  64. S.... v....

    Lost my granddad to a very quick battle to cancer a few days ago, sadly he lives on the other side of the world so I couldn't tell him goodbye and we left on rather bad terms... dug this song out of my memory and it's just so fitting...

  65. A.... S....

    Still crying over this song in 2019. Miss you so bad josh Sheppard. Fly free brother. Blue skies!!

    A.... S....

    This is one of the best songs ever written, but I NEVER hear about it. This band was playing at a venue I was part of back in 2012-13 ish, and they spent their day in our private lounge area. We ended up chilling more than I normally would with bands because they really value their privacy and relaxation time on the road, but they had only a couple shows left before they went home and started recording this album. They were working on some of their music in the lounge and I heard this playing from my office. I couldn't even work, and I couldn't help myself but go in there and ask them what the song was. They said they didn't know what they were going to call it yet, they had a few choices. I asked them if I could hear the whole song. They had recorded a basic low quality version of it so they wouldn't forget it, and said it sounded like shit and was very bare bones. I didn't care. I just said I want to hear it. So they played it... that version was about a minute longer than this one that went on the album and had a slow building intro, and by the time it was done there were tears rolling down my cheeks. I didn't say anything after, neither did they, as I was obviously crying. I just said, "Wow. This is a gem.'' They seemed very humbled by this. I was one of the first few people to hear it and a couple others had cried also. They said they were honored and surprised how powerful it was even it's raw state. The label told them to remove the guitar solo, because at the time, labels hated guitar solo's because they had become unpopular, but they were adamant on keeping the solo on there, because the solo was when people started crying. In fact, the solo was when I started crying as well. At they time they had made a compromise with the label to play the bridge and the guitar solo together for the studio album version, and they were worried that it would not sound good. But after hearing it when the album did come out, I was very impressed by how good it turned out. I told them my mother was dying of cancer and had less than 2 years left to live, and that I would need this song to help me cope, because my father was in jail for most of my life, and abandoned my mom and I, so she raised me on her own, and sacrificed everything for me, and helped me through so many times that I thought i couldn't go on anymore, and asked them if it would be out in that time frame. They said that if she could last 14 months, it would be.....
    The song came out and my mom was still alive, but barely, and I felt that this was a sign she was very close to death.... and it was. She died exactly 14 days and 14 hours later. This changed my interpretation of life itself. There are no coincidences in life. Something exists beyond what we can see, hear or touch. These bizarre experiences happen to us for a reason, and that reason is to show us that there is something greater out there, beyond our understanding.

  66. M.... ....

    You like that band or not, that song is a masterpiece. Ear the differance with pop shit music and that ! (True music)

  67. T.... D....

    The singer looks like a younger Mickey Rourke.

  68. W.... H....

    Lost my dad a month ago now. So far, nothing describes how I've been feeling better than this song. All we can do is move forward, it's what they woulda wanted for us. Even on our worst days, it's what we got.

  69. c.... ....

    Pra nunca esquecer

  70. L.... S....

    Good Music Soothes the Heart----True.

  74. n.... ....

    This song helped me 5 years ago and still helps today. RIP Dad! ❤️

  75. P.... G....

    Ah..this song hits you hard, makes you remember a loved one who passed. Like me, I lost my grandmother to cancer, this woman raised me half my life because my mother was too busy working at Utility, I hate to say but I'm glad she passed and is in a better place because after my mom remarried we left to get out of there and find a new place to start a life, and as soon as that happened my aunt began using my grandma for money so she can supply her and her boyfriend drugs or make it, she sat there in that house alone because our cousins only came down there to either eat or play games all day, and my grandpa wasn't there because he was falsely accused..he wasn't even there to hold her when she passed, we had to write him a letter because the prison wouldn't let us visit him.

  76. A.... S....

    I now know the meaning of suffering, after 21 years of marriage my wife at 41 years old passed away from Cancer of the bone marrow. This song really slapped me in the back of the brain and reached into my heart. So many things I have been feeling and thinking over the past 2 plus months have been put to words for me, thank you for putting those emotions to words for us all!

  77. m.... b....

    I've been away from my wife for awhile now and I still see her face

  78. P.... L....

    Such a long time since I have listened to these guys , damn I really love their style and music that speaks volumes...

  79. m.... s....

    That ride was badass

  80. B.... H....

    To the last comment .very true.

  81. S.... F....

    I just want my girl back and my kid i can't stop crying every day i wake up i want them more and more i just want to be the man i couldn't be for them

  82. G.... C....

    Hey I hate break it to y'all. But life is only a byproduct of death. We all return to death. So yeah. 😐

  83. B.... E....

  84. T.... A....

    How I feel right now awesome song.

  85. L.... ....

    I was in the hospital myself when they told me my grandma passed away. I never got to say my goodbye. I love you grams, forever will, you were like a mother to me.

  86. C.... ....

    When I was 8yrs old I told my dad to "Eff Off" cause he was an angry (United States Marine) drunk, he chased me around the house and pulled me from my mothers arms, she was trying to protect me, he smeared cayenne pepper into my eyes and it burned like hell for a long time. When I was like 11 he wanted me to open a locked door, I was holding it shut from inside my room, he punched thru the door grabbed me and pulled me thru said door, completely destroying it, then almost knocking me out. I was also bullied at school, in fifth grade I broke a kids arm in two, when I was 15 I fought a gang member trying to rob me at gunpoint. In my twenties I knocked out a guy in a bar fight then the bouncer grabbed me and I put him on the ground also. My dad is still alive, I thank him for making me the tough bastard I am today.

    C.... ....

    Pathetic attempt at a flex.

    C.... ....

    I thought there was gonna be an inspirational moment or a happy ending.
    Nope... Congrats though. I feel sorry for ya

  87. T.... I....

  89. K.... B....

    IMO their best track.

  90. L.... G....

    Every time I listen to this song, I would cry my heart out cause I would think of my dad passing away. Welp my baby boy Max of 13 years just died yesterday. He was my everything, my heart, and soul hurts so powerfully. R.I.P Max a million. The greatest fucking Pitbul that ever walked this earth.

    L.... G....

  91. P.... A....

  93. a.... ....

    Tears come to my eyes every time... My dad was taken way too soon and was such a good man. I only wish he could see I have straightened out my life addressed my addiction and am in recovery. It hurts me that I showed him my worst self up until he passed. I so wish he could see me now and be proud. Just something I have to live with. I hope I can carry on his loving and generous spirit and touch other lives like he touched and molded mine. I love you dad

  94. J.... R....
