Album version

[Verse 1] I just wanna stay in the sun where I find I know it's hard sometimes Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind I know it's hard sometimes Yeah, I think about the end just way too much But it's fun to fantasize On my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was But it's fun to fantasize [Chorus] Oh-woah-woah, oh-woah-woah, I'm fallin' So I'm takin' my time on my ride, oh-woah-woah, I'm fallin' So I'm takin' my time on my ride Takin' my time on my ride [Verse 2] "I'd die for you," that's easy to say We have a list of people that we would take A bullet for them, a bullet for you A bullet for everybody in this room But I don't seem to see many bullets comin' through See many bullets comin' through Metaphorically, I'm the man But literally, I don't know what I'd do "I'd live for you," and that's hard to do Even harder to say when you know it's not true Even harder to write when you know that tonight There were people back home who tried talking to you But then you ignore them still All these questions they're for real Like "Who would you live for?" "Who would you die for?" And "Would you ever kill?" [Chorus] Oh-woah-woah, oh-woah-woah, I'm fallin' So I'm takin' my time on my ride, oh-woah-woah, I'm fallin' So I'm takin' my time on my ride Takin' my time on my ride [Bridge] I've been thinkin' too much I've been thinkin' too much I've been thinkin' too much I've been thinkin' too much Help me I've been thinkin' too much I've been thinkin' too much I've been thinkin' too much Help me I've been thinkin' too much I've been thinkin' too much I've been thinkin' too much [Chorus] Oh-woah-woah, oh-woah-woah, I'm fallin' So I'm takin' my time on my ride, oh-woah-woah, I'm fallin' So I'm takin' my time Takin' my time on my ride, woah-oh-oh (Woah, yeah) Oh-woah-woah, oh-woah-woah, I'm fallin' So I'm takin' my time on my ride, oh-woah-woah, I'm fallin' So I'm takin' my time on my— [Outro] I've been thinkin' too much Help me I've been thinkin' too much Help me I've been thinkin' too much I've been thinkin' too much I've been thinkin' too much Help me I've been thinkin' too much I've been thinkin' too much I've been thinkin' too much Help me

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.
