Tears
Clean Bandit Louisa Johnson Lyrics

I tried hard to make you want me
I put in a lot of effort to make you desire me

But we're not supposed to be
But we're not meant to be together

And the truth will always haunt me
And the reality of this situation will always trouble me

Even though it set me free
Even though it liberated me from an unhealthy relationship

And my tears flow like the ocean
And I cry a lot, like an ocean of tears

As they floated in the breeze
As my tears are carried away by the wind

They were falling in slow motion
My tears were falling slowly

And they brought me to my knees
And they caused me immense emotional pain

Oh, you're haunting me, taunting me all in my brain
Oh, you're tormenting me, teasing me in my thoughts

Turn off the light and now all that remains
If I turn off the light, all that's left is my thoughts

Fills me with doubt
Makes me unsure of myself

And I'm shouting your name out loud
And I'm crying out your name in anguish

Why do you wanna put me through the pain?
Why do you want to hurt me?

I get the feeling I'll never escape
I have a feeling that I'll always be stuck in this pain

I can't hide away from the shame of you
I can't escape from the embarrassment of being with you

Tears on the ground, tears on my pillow
My tears are on the ground and on my pillow

You won't bring me down
You won't make me feel worse

And I'll get over you
And I'll move on from you

These tears will get me through
These tears will help me heal

I'll, I'll, I'll get over you
I'll definitely move on from you

When did you lose your emotion?
When did you become so emotionless?

When did you become so cruel?
When did you become so harsh and unkind?

And if you want to cut me open
And if you want to cause me pain

Says a thousands words 'bout you
It says a lot about who you are as a person

And in time I know you'll leave me
And eventually, I know you'll abandon me

Like a distant memory
Like a memory that's far away in the past

I know love can be so easy
I know that love can be simple

If I start by loving me, oh
If I begin by loving and respecting myself

Rain at my window
Rain is falling outside my window

The pain washes out
The pain is slowly going away

I don't need you to call me tonight
I don't need you to contact me this evening

I don't need you to see me if I'm alright
I don't need you to check up on me to see if I'm okay

You left me, so leave me, I'm fine
You already left me, so just let me be. I'm okay.

I'll, I'll, I'll get over you
I'll definitely move on from you
