Lyrics

Suspect My Tears

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.

Do you remember how to say please?

You've had your own way for such a long time

Your lash is sweet now, I dry your cheek

You think I'm powerless when you weep

You may have something, I don't deny

You look too beautiful when you cry

If I seem unconcerned

Perhaps it's time you learned

I'll cry until you suspect my tears

I'll cry until you suspect my tears

You're not the only one who can turn it on

Where and when you need to

Do you remember how bad it felt?

Big eyes would fill up

That lip would tremble

You want to hurt me

Make me feel guilty

You always promise to lose control

I stole the trick that you used to play

I'm tired of you having it your own way

With the power to persuade

Beginning to cascade
