Lyrics

Lyrics

Album / live version
[Intro]

Na-na-na-na, oh, oh

Na-na-na-na, oh, oh

Na-na-na-na, oh, oh


[Verse 1]

When the leader of the bad guys sang

Something soft and soaked in pain

I heard the echo from his secret hideaway

He must've forgot to close his door

As he cranked out those dismal chords

And his four walls declared him insane


[Pre-Chorus]

I found my way, right time, wrong place

As I pled my case


[Chorus]

You're the judge, oh no

Set me free

You're the judge, oh no

Set me free

I know my soul's freezing

Hell's hot for good reason

So please, take me


[Refrain]

Na-na-na-na, oh, oh

Na-na-na-na, oh, oh

Na-na-na-na, oh, oh


[Verse 2]

Three lights are lit, but the fourth one's out

I can tell 'cause it's a bit darker than the last night's bout

I forgot about the drought of light bulbs in this house

So I head out down a route I think is heading south

But I'm not good with directions and I hide behind my mouth

I'm a pro at imperfections and I'm best friends with my doubt

And now that my mind's out and now I hear it clear and loud

I'm thinking "Wow, I probably should've stayed inside my house"


[Pre-Chorus]

I found my way, right time, wrong place

As I pled my case


[Chorus]

You're the judge, oh no

Set me free

You're the judge, oh no

Set me free

I know my soul's freezing

Hell's hot for good reason

So please


[Bridge]

I don't know if this song

Is a surrender or a revel

I don't know if this one

Is about me or the devil

I don't know if this song

Is a surrender or a revel

I don't know if this one

Is about me or the devil


[Interlude]

(Woah, oh-oh)

Oh! (Yeah)

(Woah, oh-oh)


[Chorus]

You're the judge, oh no

Set me free, oh no

You're the judge, oh no

Set me free, oh no

I know my soul's freezing

Hell's hot for good reason (Oh)

So please (Ooh-ooh)


[Refrain]

(Yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Na-na-na-na, oh, oh

Na-na-na-na, oh, oh

Na-na-na-na, oh, oh

Na-na-na-na, oh, oh


[Chorus]

You're the judge, oh no (Na-na-na-na, oh, oh)

Set me free (Na-na-na-na, oh, oh)

You're the judge, oh no (Na-na-na-na, oh, oh)

Set me free (Na-na-na-na, oh, oh)

You're the judge, oh no (Na-na-na-na, oh, oh)

Set me free (Na-na-na-na, oh, oh; Oh, Josh Dun!)

You're the judge, oh no (Na-na-na-na, oh, oh)

Set me free (Na-na-na-na, oh, oh)

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]
