'Cause you act like you are Go ahead and just live it up So live life like you’re giving up Go on and tear me apart It’s alright to cry Even my dad does sometimes So don’t wipe your eyes Tears remind you you’re alive It’s alright to die

Are you there? The tears in your eyes Someday will dry We fight for our lives 'Cause everything's on the line What is truth I was wrong

I'll stand by you Won't let nobody hurt you Take me in, into your darkest hour And I'll never desert you Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don't be ashamed to cry Let me see you through

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down I will ease your mind When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your side Oh when times get rough And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down I will ease your mind When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your side Oh when times get rough And friends just can't be found

Mama don't cry no more Wipe those tears from your eyes Mama, theres so many nights we sleep in a bundle like a flock of sheep Ooh..better days are there for sure Oh I will bear the hunger, we poor Mama, theres so many times we go through days without

We'll get higher and higher Oh that's what dreams are made of Straight up we'll climb Leave it all behind So baby dry your eyes, save all The tears you've cried World turns black and white Pictures in an empty room Your love starts fallin down

I'll stand by you Won't let nobody hurt you And I'll never desert you Take me in into your darkest hour Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don't be ashamed to cry Let me see you through

But once again these tears always win These eyes put up a fight Say now baby girl you're better off That's what I'm telling myself (over and over) But I'm lying to myself 'Cause these lips are missin' you (Missin' you) 'Cause these lips ain't kissin' you

(Your feminine) fingers are like daggers Tearing me apart, with each caressing stroke My scars unravel cruel history Our love was stab wounds and lusty kisses In your eyes I see wasted tears for wasted years and heartache, heartfelt for granted You left
