I Want 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.
How does saying nothing at all become so loud?
When does the silence settle in?
Nothing's wrong but nothing's right
We hold our breath and close our eyes
And skate out on that ice that's wearing thin
How do we get so numb it don't even hurt?
Yeah why are we so comfortably still?
Here we are pretending that we're doing fine
Just scratching at the surface, just getting by
Don't you think it's time that we feel something real?
I want tears, I want rain
If that's what leads me back to you
Even if that means feeling the pain
If that's what we gotta do
Let it fall apart
Come on and break my heart
Yeah, break it right in two
'Cause I don't wanna smile if that means losing you
I want tears
The kind that you can't help, and you can't hold back
The ones that are waiting bursting at the seams
Baby can't we find our strenght
To just let go and make a change
'Cause I need something more to make me believe
I want tears, I want rain
If that's what leads me back to you
Even if that means feeling the pain
If that's what we gotta do
Let it fall apart
Come on and break my heart
Yeah, break it right in two
'Cause I don't wanna smile if that means losing you
Remember what we used to have?
And baby don't you want it back?
Baby we can get it back
I want tears, I want rain
If that's what leads me back to you
Even if that means feeling the pain
If that's what we gotta do
Let it fall apart
Come on and break my heart
Yeah, break it right in two
'Cause I don't wanna smile if that means losing you
I don't wanna smile if that means losing you
I want tears
How does saying nothing at all become so loud?
