I'm Torn Down
Love's Blues: Torn Between Yearning and Loss
Lyrics
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
I feel broken and almost defeated
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Repetition of feeling torn down and low
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found
Expressing emotional pain when unable to find the baby (loved one)
I went to the river to jump in
Contemplating drastic actions, like jumping into the river
My baby showed up and said, "I will tell you when"
Baby's unexpected appearance, delaying the decision to jump
Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Reiteration of feeling torn down
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found
Recurrence of emotional pain when the baby is absent
I love you babe with all my heart and soul
Declaration of deep love with heart and soul
Love like mine will never grow old
Expressing the enduring nature of the speaker's love
Love you in the morning and in the evening too
Expressing love in the morning and evening, indicating constant affection
Every time you leave me I get mad with you
Feeling upset every time the loved one leaves
I love you baby with all my might
Reiteration of profound love
Love like mine is out of sight
Describing the intensity of the speaker's love
I'll lie for you if you want me to
Willingness to lie for the loved one
I really don't believe that your love is true
Doubt about the truth of the loved one's love
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Repetition of feeling torn down
Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Continuation of the theme of being almost level with the ground
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found
Reiteration of emotional pain when the baby is not present
