Tears Run Dry
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Caught in a moment that won't let go
Trying to find my way out
When movin' on is a dead end road
Might as well turn back around
And I'm in the dark
I'm completely numb
Like a shadow that's turned to stone
Trying to figure out
how two become one
then end up so alone
I'm broken, wide open
You've shattered all we had
And I'm through with hoping
Somehow I'm gonna put the pieces back
I've cried me an ocean
Now there's nothing left inside
I'm here not knowing
Where do you go when the tears run dry?
I close my eyes and I breathe you in
It's always and never the same
How do we end up strangers again
When I'm still dreaming your name
And I'm calling out
Are you hearing me?
I don't know where I belong
Now it's so unclear
Why do I wish you hear
When I'm already gone
oo oo yeah
I'm broken, wide open
You've shattered all we had
And I'm through with hoping
Somehow I'm gonna put the pieces back
I've cried me an ocean
Now there's nothing left inside
I'm here not knowing
Where do you go when the tears run dry?
Maybe I should runaway
Maybe I should disappear (ooh)
Maybe I should find a place
Where no one knows I'm there
Anywhere but here
I'm broken, wide open
You've shattered all we had (all we had)
And I'm through with hoping
Somehow I'm gonna put the pieces back
I've cried me an ocean
Now there's nothing left inside
I'm here not knowing
Where do you go when the tears run dry?
tears run dry
