Tortured — текст песни (Elton John)

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
Tortured by you so many times
