Lyrics

Lyrics

Album version
[Verse 1]

I don't know why I just feel I'm better off

Stayin' in the same room I was born in

I look outside and see a whole world better off

Without me in it tryin' to transform it


[Pre-Chorus]

You are out of my mind, oh

You aren't seein' my side, oh

You waste all this time tryin' to get to me

But you are out of my mind

Yeah


[Verse 2]

Listen, I know

This one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds

But the lyrics are so down

It's okay though

Because it represents, wait, better yet, it is

Who I feel I am right now


[Pre-Chorus]

You are out of my mind, oh

You aren't seein' my side, oh

You waste all this time tryin' to get to me

But you are out of my mind


[Chorus]

Heard you say, "Not today"

Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound

Heard your voice, "there's no choice"

Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise


[Bridge]

Oh, don't you test me though

Just because I play the piano

Doesn't mean I am not willin' to take you down

I'm sorry


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm, I'm out of my mind, oh

I'm not seein' things right, oh

I waste all this time tryin' to run from you

But I'm, I'm out of my mind


[Chorus]

Heard you say, "Not today"

Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound

Heard your voice, "there's no choice"

Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise


[Bridge 2]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah, ohh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah, ohh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


[Pre-Chorus]

You are out of my mind

You aren't seein' my side

You waste all this time tryin' to get to me

But you are out of my mind


[Chorus]

Heard you say, "Not today"

Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound

Heard your voice, "there's no choice"

Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise


[Outro]

Buh buh bah, buh buh bah (Yeah)

Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah (Yeah)

(Woah) Buh buh bah, (Yeah) buh buh bah

(No, no) Bah bah bah bah bah, (No, yeah) bah bah bah bah bah

Buh buh bah, buh buh bah (Not today, not today)

Bah bah bah bah bah (Not today), bah bah bah bah bah (Not today)

Buh buh bah (No, not today), buh buh bah (Not today)

(No, no, no, no) Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah (No) bah (No)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Lyrics meaning

Lyrics
“Tear in My Heart” is the second single from Twenty One Pilots' fourth studio album, Blurryface. Inspired by Tyler Joseph’s wife, Jenna Joseph, the song details the importance of their relationship.

“Tear in My Heart” is the only song from the album not to feature Blurryface, who is a character representing the protagonists fears and anxieties. This fact may insinuate that Jenna protects him from Blurryface.[1]
