Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
|
|
I'd like to make this song so simple
|
Don't want to hide my feeling under
|
Drawn up words in shades of many colours
|
How can I make them think I am clever
|
By merely saying that I miss you
|
|
It's just a state they claim I'm going through
|
Don't want you to think that I am weakening
|
Although you know I'm always dreaming
|
Someday you'll be coming home to me
|
|
Tortured, I've been so tortured by you so many times
|
But you always love the ones that hurt you
|
And I guess those are the ties that bind
|
Tortured by you
|
|
If I had taken parting easy
|
It might have been a better lesson
|
For all concerned in wars of love and hate
|
How can you swear through words and music
|
The heart you crave and how to move it
|
|
It's just a beach you washed my body onto
|
Don't want you to know that I an crying
|
Although your friends can see I'm dying
|
Slowly from the knife you left in me
|
|
Tortured by you
|
Tortured by you
|
|
