Teardrops
Daniel Lemma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thereґs a car thatґs waiting
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
Thereґs a whole world waiting outside

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

Overall Meaning

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.

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

Leave this place

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
