Teardrops
Bop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
What I want and I need, everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's just so funny
But I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes so perfectly, the kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do, why I do

So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight 'cause

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do, why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into





Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
