Tearing Me Apart

Lyrics: Ligertwood, Margen
Music: Ligertwood, Margen

Played by Go Ahead, with Brent Mydland, in 1986. Alex Ligterwood introduced it: "This is a song written by David Margen and myself. And we've brought it back to it's original form. It was recorded on an album as an instrumental. We're going to do it now as a vocal." The lyrics are very hard to make out: any help gratefully received. It appears in setlists sometimes as "Tearing Me Apart" and sometimes as "Breaking My Heart"

[Pretty much you took away that took that my hope's gone]
[Telling me the lies and loving, talking] this way
I gave her everything I could and she just threw it away
I just leaving for myself, oh, from [?]

She told me some lies and I can't hide
What's there to tell
Baby, baby, you're breaking my heart
Baby, baby, you're tearing me apart
Love me, love me, right from the start

First time I met her, I thought she was my dream
Then I realised that, aah, she wasn't a queen
I gave her everything I had, but she just ran away
Never realising that [?]

Tell me no lies, you know I can't hide
What's there to tell
Baby, baby, you're breaking my heart
Baby, baby, you're tearing me apart
Love me, love me, right from the start

It's you that I'm calling
It's you that I need
I'm [?] you baby
I'm giving you please

Baby, baby, you're breaking my heart
Baby, baby, you're tearing me apart
Love me, love me, right from the start
Baby, baby
