No Tears To Cry

Paul Weller · Wake Up The Nation [2010]

If you don't want to see me fall

Turn your face to the wall

There's no face left to hide

There's no tears to cry

'Cause my eyes have dried

If you can see my wall, dear, from afar

Can't you see how distant we are?

There's no way I can lie

There's no tears to cry

'Cause my eyes have dried

Time before [Incomprehensible]

You stole the precious mind

Wrapped it up in sin

And sold it to the night

If you don't want to watch, watch me slide

Turn around here inside

Find a place we can hide

There's no tears to cry

There's no face left inside

There's no tears to cry

'Cause my eyes have dried

There's no tears to cry
