Black tears
One will fall for every good year
Rolling down my face
Inside I'm dying
Outside I'm crying black tears
Your kiss killed me on that night
As your lips, left a bitter taste
And inside I'm dying
Outside I'm crying black tears
How did it all go wrong
We seemed to have it all
But it's broken
And I'm running
And I'm scared
So I pray to God above
It's a sin when we don't love
It's so quiet
Can you hear me
Are you there
Black tears
Please be gone so I can see clear
Keep calm and carry on
But inside I'm dying
Outside I'm crying black tears
How did it all go wrong
We seemed to have it all
But now it's broken
And I'm running
And I'm scared, so scared
So I pray to God above
'Cause it's a sin but we don't love
It's so quiet
Can you hear me
Are you there
Black tears
One will fall for every good year
Rolling down my face
Inside I'm dying
Outside I'm crying, crying, crying black tears
