Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Teardrops on my pillow they're everywhere i go since you said goodbye
Everyday i make my way across this lonely room
I pull back the shades and all i see are blue skies
Without you here it's stormy weather and even the sun can make me cry
Teardrops on my window...
[ steel - guitar ]
When i lay down well that's when heartaches come around i realize it's just no use
Teardrops on my window...
They're everywhere i go since you said goodbye
The lyrics of George Jones' song "Teardrops" talk about the pain and sadness that come with a breakup. The singer of the song is struggling to move on from a past relationship, and everywhere he goes, he sees reminders of his lost love. The teardrops on his window and pillow represent the tears he's shed since the breakup, and they are a constant reminder of his heartache.
The line "Everyday I make my way across this lonely room" suggests that the singer is stuck in a rut and can't seem to escape his sadness. Even when he looks outside, all he sees are blue skies, reminding him of the happiness he once had. The line "Without you here it's stormy weather" highlights the stark contrast between his emotional state and the outside world.
The song's chorus emphasizes the pervasive nature of his sadness -- the teardrops are everywhere he goes. The repeated line "since you said goodbye" is a reminder that his heartbreak is tied to the loss of his relationship.
Overall, "Teardrops" is a poignant reflection on the pain of lost love and the difficulty of moving on from a broken relationship.
