I thought I saw a man brought to life He was warm, he came around like he was dignified He showed me what it was to cry Well, you couldn't be that man I adored You don't seem to know, or seem to care what your heart is for But I don't know him anymore There's nothin' where he used to lie The conversation has run dry That's what's going on Nothing's fine, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I'm shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake, and I can see The perfect sky is torn You're a little late I'm already torn So I guess the fortune teller's right Should've seen just what was there, and not some holy light But you crawled beneath my veins and now I don't care, I had no luck I don't miss it all that much There's just so many things That I can't touch, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I'm shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake, and I can see The perfect sky is torn You're a little late I'm already torn Torn (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) There's nothing where he used to lie My inspiration has run dry And that's what's going on Nothing's right, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I'm shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake, and I can see The perfect sky is torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I'm ashamed Bound and broken on the floor You're a little late I'm already torn Torn, woah (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah) (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah) (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)

Foi escrita em 1993 por Scott Cutler, Anne Preven e Phil Thornalley, antes de ser gravada em três versões distintas no mesmo ano, incluindo a versão danesa "Brændt" da cantora Lis Sørensen.
A mesma canção foi lançada pela banda alternativa americana Ednaswap em 1993, antes de ser regravada por Trine Rein em 1996, mostrando o interesse inicial da indústria musical pela composição.
A versão de Natalie Imbruglia, lançada em 1997 como seu single de estreia, alcançou o topo das paradas de singles em vários países, incluindo Bélgica, Canadá, Dinamarca, Islândia, Espanha e Suécia.
Além do sucesso internacional, a música também dominou três diferentes charts da Billboard nos Estados Unidos, evidenciando seu apelo transatlântico.
O fato de ter sido gravada em três línguas distintas (dano, inglês e talvez outra) antes de ganhar fama global destaca a versatilidade e universalidade da letra e melodia.
Embora tenha sido escrita em 1993, a música só alcançou o número um na maioria das paradas após a gravação de Imbruglia em 1997, demonstrando que uma reinterpretação pode catapultar uma canção a nível mundial.
