I Want Tears lyrics

How does saying nothing at all become so loud?

When does the silence settle in?

Nothing's wrong and nothing's right.

We hold our breath and close our eyes.

The skate-out on that ice is wearing thin.

How do we get so low it don't even hurt?

Yeah, why are we so comfortably still?

Here we are pretending that we're doing fine,

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.

Kindly you can't help, and you can't hold back,

long time waiting, bursting at the seams.

Baby, can't we find more time,

to just make up 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 could 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 want tears.

How does saying nothing at all become so loud?
