|[Verse 1]
My shadow tilts its head at me
I don't know why I just feel I'm better off


Spirits in the dark are waiting
Stayin' in the same room I was born in


I will let the wind go quietly
I look outside and see a whole world better off


I will let the wind go quietly
Without me in it tryin' to transform it




[Verse 1]
[Pre-Chorus]


Be the one, be the one to take my soul and make it undone
You are out of my mind, oh


Be the one, be the one to take me home and show me the sun
You aren't seein' my side, oh


I know, I know you can bring the fire, I can bring the bones
You waste all this time tryin' to get to me


I know, I know you'll make the fire, my bones will make it grow
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]
[Chorus]


Where we're from, there's no sun, our hometown's in the dark
Heard you say, "Not today"
 
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound


Where we're from, we're no one, our hometown's in the dark
Heard your voice, "there's no choice"


Our hometown's in the dark
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise




[Refrain]
[Bridge]


My shadow tilts its head at me
Oh, don't you test me though


Spirits in the dark are waiting
Just because I play the piano


I will let the wind go quietly
Doesn't mean I am not willin' to take you down


I will let the wind go quietly
I'm sorry




[Verse 2]
[Pre-Chorus]


Put away, put away all the gods your father served today
I'm, I'm out of my mind, oh


Put away, put away your traditions, believe me when I say
I'm not seein' things right, oh


We don't know, we don't know how to put back the power in our soul
I waste all this time tryin' to run from you


We don't know, we don't know where to find what once was in our bones
But I'm, I'm out of my mind




[Chorus]
[Chorus]


Where we're from, there's no sun, our hometown's in the dark

[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

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah, ohh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah, ohh

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]
