Tear in My Heart
by Twenty One Pilots
“ Tear in My Heart ” is a song written and recorded by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots, for their fourth studio album Blurryface. The song was released as a single on April 6, 2015 and was released to radio on April 14 of the same year. “Tear in My Heart” is an ode dedicated to a loved one, with Tyler Joseph’s wife Jenna being the inspiration behind the song. As an unabashed love song, “Tear in My Heart” finds Joseph’s in a romantic prose as he writes for his wife Jenna. In particular, its bridge was based on Joseph’s personal experience driving long hours back to Columbus, Ohio from a family vacation trip as his future-wife Jenna slept, which left him to deal with all the traffic. “Tear in My Heart” is about how Joseph’s wife shocked him out of stasis. By talking about falling in love, it acts as a break from morbidity of that prevailed much of Blurryface.
Lyrics
Tear in My Heart
Oh, oh
Sometimes you gotta bleed to know
That you’re alive and have a soul
But it takes someone to come around
To show you how
She’s the tear in my heart
I’m alive
She’s the tear in my heart
I’m on fire
She’s the tear in my heart
Take me higher
Than I’ve ever been
Songs on the radio are okay
My taste in music is your face
But it takes a song to come around
To show you how
She’s the tear in my heart
I’m alive
She’s the tear in my heart
I’m on fire
She’s the tear in my heart
Take me higher
Than I’ve ever been
Than I’ve ever been
Than I’ve ever been
Than I’ve ever been
Oh, than I’ve ever been
You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time
But that’s okay, I’ll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine
I’m driving, here I sit, cursing my government
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement
You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time
But that’s okay, I’ll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine
I’m driving, here I sit, cursing my government
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement
Sometimes you gotta bleed to know, oh, oh
That you’re alive and have a soul, oh, oh
But it takes someone to come around
To show you how
She’s the tear in my heart
I’m alive
She’s the tear in my heart
I’m on fire
She’s the tear in my heart
Take me higher
Than I’ve ever been
My heart is my armor
She’s the tear in my heart
She’s a carver
She’s a butcher with a smile
Cut me farther
Than I’ve ever been
Than I’ve ever been
Than I’ve ever been
Oh, than I’ve ever been
My heart is my armor
She’s the tear in my heart
She’s a carver
She’s a butcher with a smile
Cut me farther
Than I’ve ever been
