Tears
Ian Van Dahl · Other Songs - Ian Van Dahl
I opened up my heart to you (my heart to you).
I always thought that you and I
Could stand the test of time.
And now my Tears have fallen (Tears have fallen) --
Nothing else that I can do.
Tears have fallen (Tears have fallen) --
Nothing else that I can do.
All those Tears in your eyes can't comfort me.
So tell me right now
What you decide.
All those Tears in your eyes can't comfort me.
All those Tears in your eyes --
I think I'm better off without you...
Tell me why you tried to hide
All the secrets deep inside (deep inside).
So baby tell me face to face --
Are you gonna stay?
Now my Tears have fallen (Tears have fallen) --
Nothing else that I can do.
Tears have fallen (Tears have fallen) --
Nothing else that I can do.
All those Tears in your eyes can't comfort me.
So tell me right now
What you decide.
All those Tears in your eyes can't comfort me.
All those Tears in your eyes --
I think I'm better off without you.
