Lyrics
5) Torn Away - hugh campbell
When I was a little kid I had nothin’
Except my little, little ball of hate
My days were long and nights restless
Some would say I think too much for my age
Others would say I’m quite strange
Hey-hey-hey, I always thought I was okay
Chorus: When I grow up will I remember you?
And all the things, all the things that you said
When I grow up will I feel the same?
Like every day I’m bein’ torn away
Like every day I’m bein’ torn away...
When I was a little kid I had nothin’
Except my little, little ball of hate
As I grew that little ball did too
Nowadays I call it, call it my pain
I’ll put all my fears into a box
Then I’ll send them your way
Hopefully soon you’ll understand
Why I’m so afraid
(chorus)
