Ripped Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was I lying right through my teeth
When I said I was trustworthy
I said I’d never ever live this way
I’m turning into everything I hate

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I was reckless with your love
I know I never gave you enough
Well I was reckless with your love
I know I never gave you enough

[Chorus]
Well is it all slipping away from me?
I can’t be anything you want me to be
All ripped away from me
I can’t be anything you want me to be
My heart is heavy and it keeps me to the ground
My eyes are swollen cause I can’t have you around
All ripped away from me
I can’t be anything you want me to be

[Verse 2]
I didn’t have the strength to just come clean
Feeling weak and hurt it seems
That I can never look you in the face
Don’t have the spine to go to your place
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I was reckless with your love
I know I never gave you enough
Well I was reckless with your love
I know I never gave you enough

[Chorus]
Well is it all slipping away from me
I can’t be anything you want me to be
All ripped away from me
I can’t be anything you want me to be
My heart is heavy and it keeps me to the ground
My eyes are swollen cause I can’t have you around
All ripped away from me
I can’t be anything you want me to be

[Bridge: Nilu Madidi]
What can I do? What can I say?
After all I pushed you away
If you ever forgive me now it would be too soon
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Cause after all you pushed me away
You know I wanna forgive you now it's just too soon


[Pre-Chorus: Nilu Madidi]
Well is it all slipping away from me?
Well is it all ripped away from me?
[Chorus]
Well is it all slipping away from me?
I can’t be anything you want me to be
All, ripped away from me
I can’t be anything you want me to be
My heart is heavy and it keeps me to the ground
My eyes are swollen cause I can’t have you around
All ripped away from me
I can’t be anything you want me to be

[Outro]
I can’t be anything you want me to be
I can’t be anything you want me to be
I can’t be anything you want me to be
I can’t be anything you want me to be

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
