The pathway of teardrops will show you the way
If you ever wanna come back to me
You know dear that I cried both night and day
Since you told me you'd never be free.
I love you so still I let you go
Now I'm sending this message to you
The pathway of teardrops will show you the way
If you ever wanna come back to me.

I loved you so still I let you go
Now I'm sending this message to you
The pathway of teardrops will show you the way
If you ever wanna come back to me.
If you ever wanna come back to me...
The pathway of teardrops will show you the way
If you ever wanna come back to me
You know dear that I cried both night and day
Since you told me you'd never be free.
I love you so still I let you go
Now I'm sending this message to you
The pathway of teardrops will show you the way
If you ever wanna come back to me.

I loved you so still I let you go
Now I'm sending this message to you
The pathway of teardrops will show you the way
If you ever wanna come back to me.
If you ever wanna come back to me...
