Lyrics
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.
You left me here alone, I guess I'll never see the light
You turned another stone and he makes your wrong seem right
On some different wavelength, somehow he brings you more
Sweetheart tonight I know for sure
Chorus:
I'll see those tears, and the damage they do
You're breaking my heart with those tears, and I'm crying over you
Can we make a new start? Of all the girls I've had at my knees
You're the only one, who could bring me to these tears
A master of the beat, you've got my number in your hands
A killer on the streets, you've got your actions planned
But somewhere in your heart there must be a place for me
Sweetheart tonight I know for sure
(chorus)
(Solo)
I'm lookin' at you, you're lookin' at me
You won't let me go, but you won't set me free
Of those tears, and the damage they do
You're breaking my heart with those tears, and I'm crying over you
Cry for you tonight, I'll cry you a river
I'm gonna - cry for you - I'm gonna cry you a river
Cry you a river - tonight - cry for you - I'm gonna - cry for you tonight
Cry for you - I'm gonna - cry you a river - cry for you, cry for you tonight
