Teardrops
DeSol Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe if I met you first
If I was stronger
If it wouldn't bring down
the rain and the thunder

No use
in making love
if it don't matter

Been trying to let you go

I could cry a million times
song never changes
It plays over in my mind
I don't wanna erase it

And I want to kiss you
but I think it be better
just trying to let you go

Teardrops on my shoulder
We're running but getting nowhere
No one sees it when you're crying in the rain

This magic that we share
we've been hiding
So dark and twisted girl,
we cant keep on lying

Don't wanna be your secret
We could never let them see us
a love that shouldn't have grown

[chorus]

If only God with
all his might
could make it right
Wash our sins away
but until then
we still crying in the rain
those
Teardrops on my shoulder
Filling up
Flooding over
No one sees it
when you're crying in the rain

God knows
I've been trying to find a way
God knows
I've been crying in the rain

Overall Meaning

"Teardrops" by DeSol is a melancholic song exploring the all-consuming nature of unrequited love. The lyrics begin with the singer fantasizing about a different reality where they met the object of their affection before and were stronger, so that their love would not be fraught with the difficulties of the present. However, they come to the realization that making love when it does not matter is fruitless and they have been trying to let go of this love. The heartbreak and pain from this experience is likened to listening to the same sad song in the singer's head, which they do not want to erase.

The second part of the song describes the couple's relationship as hidden and secretive because it is taboo, as evidenced by the line "we could never let them see us / a love that shouldn't have grown." The lovers are constantly hiding in the shadows, pretending that their love does not exist. The chorus repeats the theme of the first verse, emphasizing that the couple is "still crying in the rain" and "no one sees it." Despite their efforts to keep their love alive, it remains hidden and unfulfilled.

In its essence, "Teardrops" is a poignant exploration of the all-consuming nature of love and the pain it brings when it is not reciprocated. The lyrics are raw, honest, and emotionally charged, making the song relatable to anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak.

Line by Line Meaning

Maybe if I met you first
If only we had met earlier, things would be different

If I was stronger
If I had more emotional strength, I could have handled this situation differently

If it wouldn't bring down the rain and the thunder
If only the timing had been better, if only fate didn't play its part

No use in making love if it don't matter
If there's no love, there's no point in continuing the relationship

Been trying to let you go
I've been trying to forget you and move on

I could cry a million times, song never changes
No matter how many times I cry, the song of my heartache remains the same

It plays over in my mind, I don't wanna erase it
The memories keep replaying in my head, maybe because I don't want to forget completely

And I want to kiss you but I think it be better just trying to let you go
Although I want to be with you, letting you go may be the best thing for both of us

Teardrops on my shoulder, We're running but getting nowhere, No one sees it when you're crying in the rain
We're trying to run away from our problems, but we're stuck in the same place, crying silently

This magic that we share we've been hiding, So dark and twisted girl, we cant keep on lying
We've been keeping our love a secret, but it's a love that's not meant to be, and we can't keep denying that truth

Don't wanna be your secret, We could never let them see us, a love that shouldn't have grown
I don't want to be in a relationship where we have to hide our feelings because it's a love that should never have happened

If only God with all his might could make it right, Wash our sins away but until then we still crying in the rain those Teardrops on my shoulder
If only a higher power could make things right and cleanse our guilt, but until that happens, we'll continue to suffer in silence

Filling up, Flooding over, No one sees it when you're crying in the rain
The tears keep filling up and overflowing, but no one notices because it's hidden in the rain

God knows I've been trying to find a way, God knows I've been crying in the rain
I've been searching for a way out of this heartache, but it seems like I'm stuck crying in the rain
