Teardrops
Daniel Lemma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guess itґs leaving time
I belive Iґve said it all
And you paid no mind
Weґve been trough the motions
Lord knows Iґve tried
And as hard as it is for me to
Walk out the door
But itґs gonna be a slow night
Tears gonґ fall
Pour, pour, pour down your
Cheeks and wet your bed
Youґll be sorry babe
Youґll be listening to the clocks tick
And wondering if
Time, time time gonna heal
The wounds in your heart
Itґs a dried-up well
And all you got is
Teardrops over me
Teradrops over me
Told me you knew me
You just made me feel lost
You know, love donґt cut no deals honey
You canґt run from the cost
I know Iґve stayed to long
I really tried to adapt
Still I find myself down a dead-end road
Tonightґs where I break the trap
Iґm gonna close this door behind me
And that carґs gonna take me away
If thereґs a lesson to learn in all of this
Weґll figure it out some day
The song "Teardrops" by Daniel Lemma tells the story of a relationship that has come to a standstill. The singer realizes that he has tried everything to make the relationship work but to no avail. He's now standing at the door, mentally preparing himself to leave. He feels drained and frustrated as he's given his best, but sadly, his partner has paid him no mind. The song predominantly emphasizes on the idea of moving on and emphasizes embracing the unknown future outside the relationship. The line "There's a whole world waiting outside" emphasizes the idea of endless possibilities and a new beginning.
However, the second verse of the song throws light on the emotions of the partner who has been left behind. The tone changes, and the lyrics depict the suffering of the partner. The line "Tears going to fall, pour, pour, pour down your cheeks and wet your bed" explores the idea of unbearable pain, highlighting that the partner may cry herself to sleep after the singer has left. The use of 'teardrops' these lyrics are used several times over makes the title of the song, emphasizes the idea of sadness and loneliness while also expressing that the partner has been hurt deeply.
In the end, the song emphasizes that leaving can be hard, but sometimes it's the right thing to do. It can help provide closure and allow people to move on with their lives. In the last line "If there's a lesson to learn in all of this, we'll figure it out some day," the singer suggests that both parties have to learn from the pain and sadness and move on.

Thereґs a car thatґs waiting
There is a car outside, ready for me to leave
Guess itґs leaving time
I am supposed to leave now
I belive Iґve said it all
I have expressed everything I needed to say
And you paid no mind
You ignored my words
Weґve been trough the motions
We have gone through all the usual actions and emotions
Lord knows Iґve tried
I did my best, but it didn't work out
And as hard as it is for me to
Even though it is difficult for me to
Walk out the door
Leave this place
Thereґs a whole world waiting outside
There is a big world outside, full of possibilities
But itґs gonna be a slow night
It will be a difficult and emotional night
Tears gonґ fall
I will cry
Pour, pour, pour down your
Tears will keep flowing down your
Cheeks and wet your bed
Your tears will soak your bed
Youґll be sorry babe
You will regret what happened
Youґll be listening to the clocks tick
You will be listening to the sound of time passing
And wondering if
And asking yourself
Time, time time gonna heal
Whether time will heal
The wounds in your heart
The pain in your heart
Itґs a dried-up well
Your emotions have dried up
And all you got is
All you have left is
Teardrops over me
Tears because of me
Teradrops over me
Tears because of me
Told me you knew me
You claimed that you understood me
You just made me feel lost
But now I feel lost
You know, love donґt cut no deals honey
Love does not make exceptions
You canґt run from the cost
You have to face the consequences
I know Iґve stayed to long
I should have left earlier
I really tried to adapt
I made an effort to fit in
Still I find myself down a dead-end road
But now I realize there is no future here
Tonightґs where I break the trap
Tonight is the night I escape this situation
Iґm gonna close this door behind me
I will shut this door and leave for good
And that carґs gonna take me away
The car will take me far from here
If thereґs a lesson to learn in all of this
If there is something to be learned from this experience
Weґll figure it out some day
We will understand it in the future
