The song "I'm Tore Down" by John Mayall is about a person who feels completely devastated and broken whenever their partner isn't around. The person is so in love with their partner that they feel lost without them, and they are willing to do anything to make them stay. The lyrics describe the emotions felt by the person, who is torn down and almost level with the ground because they feel so low without their partner. They express their love for their partner and how it will never grow old and how they'll love them in the morning and the evening as well. The person is willing to lie for their partner if needed and admits that they get mad whenever their partner leaves them. The second verse expresses how their love is out of sight and they don't believe that their partner's love is true. The song's chorus repeats how the person is torn down and almost level with the ground, indicating that their partner has a profound impact on their emotional state. Overall, the song conveys the feeling of being in love and how intense it can be, to the point where one feels lost without their partner.
