Lyrics

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

[Verse 1: Tyler Joseph]

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 I wouldn't wish who I was

But it's fun to fantasize

[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]

Oh-oh-ohhh, oh-oh-ohhh I'm falling

So I'm taking my time on my ride

Oh-oh-ohhh I'm falling

So I'm taking my time on my ride

Taking my time on my ride

[Verse 2: Tyler Joseph]

"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 coming through

See many bullets coming 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: Tyler Joseph]

Oh-oh-ohhh, oh-oh-ohhh I'm falling

So I'm taking my time on my ride

Oh-oh-ohhh I'm falling

So I'm taking my time on my ride

Taking my time on my ride

[Bridge: Tyler Joseph, Paul Meany, Paul Meany & Todd Gummerman]

Help me

Help me

I've been thinking too much

I've been thinking too much

Help me

I've been thinking too much

I've been thinking too much

Help me

I've been thinking too much

I've been thinking too much

I've been thinking too much

Help me

I've been thinking too much

I've been thinking too much

I've been thinking too much

Help

[Outro: Tyler Joseph]

Oh-oh-ohhh, oh-oh-ohhh I'm falling

So I'm taking my time on my ride, oh-oh-ohh

I'm falling so I'm taking my time (Yeah!)

Whoa-oh-oh (Ayyy!)

Taking my time on my ride woah, oh-oh

Oh-oh-ohhh, oh-oh-ohhh I'm falling

So I'm taking my time on my ride, oh-oh-ohh

I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my

Taking

Taking

Taking

I'm taking

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]
