Walking that line, saying I'm fine
Thought I kicked you off my mind long ago
Though you tore me apart when you broke my heart
I never, ever, ever let it show
I can't keep this storm inside me anymore
I can't stop this rain that's got to pour
Chorus:
I'm crying old tears
The dam is breaking after all these years
And you know what... I don't care
I don't care who sees me cry
I've been so strong
But there's no way that I can move on
No, this pain will never disappear
Untill I cry these old tears
Just the littlest thing,
The sound of your name
I start to feel this ache inside my soul
I try to lock it all in, push it all down
It's just so hard to keep it in control
I could fill the ocean baby, I'm so blue
The only way that I'll get over losing you
Is crying old tears...
