Ripped and Torn

I come from a land
Very far from here-hand in my
Grandmas hand, I was her exact mirror

My grandpa was a great man
Wearing overalls and his farmers tan
I walked by him in these lonely halls
These now empty walls

One day when I was home
My momma had to break the news
Now there you rest in your tomb
I stood crying in the church pews

Why did you leave me?
Alone in this lonely place
Why'd you leave I cannot see
You left in such a haste

You left me in the church corridor
On this rainy Sunday morn
I throw my hands upon the floor
You ripped me now I'm torn

Grandpa...I found you late at night
Eating prunes by the kitchen sink
You wrapped me in a hug and held me tight
You gave me a prune with a little wink

A little wink

Grandma... I found you late at night
Watching dancing with the stars
Your face lit up bright
And we talked about life and cars

Life and cars

Life and cars...

You left me in the church corridor
On this rainy Sunday morn
I throw my hands upon the floor
You ripped me now I'm torn

Five years since you've left
I now know it's not my fault but my
heart is under theft, my soul has taken a halt
And now I know, it's not my fault anymore

It's not my fault

It's not my fault anymore

It's not my fault anymore

You left me in the church corridor
On this rainy Sunday morn
I throw my hands upon the floor
You ripped me now I'm torn

And now I'm torn

And now I'm torn

And now I'm ripped and torn
