Tears Dry on Their Own
Ghetto Blaster Ltd. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I can ever be to you is a darkness that we knew
And this regret I got accustomed to
Once it was so right
When we were at our height
Waiting for you in the hotel at night
I knew I hadn't met my match
But every moment we could snatch
I don't know why I got so attached
It's my responsibility
You don't owe nothing to me
But to walk away, I have no capacity
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
I don't understand
Why do I stress the man
When there's so many bigger things at hand?
We could've never had it all
We had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal
Even if I stop wanting you
And perspective pushes through
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
I cannot play my self again
I should just be my own best friend
Not fuck my self in the head with stupid men
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
I wish I could sing no regrets
And no emotional debt
'Cause as we kissed goodbye, the sun sets
So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze
That only lovers see
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
Whoa, he walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way
My deep shade
My tears dry on their own
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way




My deep shade
My tears dry

Line by Line Meaning

All I can ever be to you is a darkness that we knew
I can only remind you of the dark times we shared


And this regret I got accustomed to
I've learned to live with this feeling of regret


Once it was so right
We used to have something special


When we were at our height
We were at the peak of our relationship


Waiting for you in the hotel at night
I remember those nights waiting for you


I knew I hadn't met my match
I knew that you weren't my perfect match


But every moment we could snatch
But we still enjoyed every moment we had


I don't know why I got so attached
I'm not sure why I became so emotionally attached


It's my responsibility
It's up to me to deal with the aftermath


You don't owe nothing to me
You don't have any obligation towards me


But to walk away, I have no capacity
But I can't force myself to let go


He walks away
He leaves me behind


The sun goes down
It's the end of the day


He takes the day, but I'm grown
He may have left, but I'm strong enough to move on


And in your way
You're still affecting me


In this blue shade
In this state of sadness or depression


My tears dry on their own
I'm gradually healing from the pain


I don't understand
I'm confused as to why I still care


Why do I stress the man
Why do I put so much pressure on him?


When there's so many bigger things at hand?
When there are larger issues to focus on?


We could've never had it all
We were never meant to have a perfect relationship


We had to hit a wall
We had to face our problems eventually


So this is inevitable withdrawal
This is an unavoidable process of letting go


Even if I stop wanting you
Even if I try to move on from you


And perspective pushes through
And I see things from a different angle


I'll be some next man's other woman soon
I'll end up being someone else's mistress or rebound


I cannot play my self again
I can't make the same mistake twice


I should just be my own best friend
I should prioritize my own wellbeing and happiness


Not fuck my self in the head with stupid men
Not allow myself to be hurt by foolish men


So we are history
We're no longer together


Your shadow covers me
Your memory still haunts me


The sky above ablaze
The fiery sky represents the passion we once had


That only lovers see
That intense feelings only couples experience


I wish I could sing no regrets
I wish I could let go completely with no remorse


And no emotional debt
And not be weighed down by emotional baggage


'Cause as we kissed goodbye, the sun sets
As we parted ways, the day ended


My deep shade
My intense sadness

Your shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze
He walks away

He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
I wish I could say no regrets
And no emotional debts
'Cause as we kissed goodbye, the sun sets
So we are history
The shadow covers me
The sky above, a blaze
Only lovers see
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way
My blue shade
My tears dry on their own
Whoa, he walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I am grown
And in your way
My deep shade
My tears dry on their own
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way
My deep shade
My tears dry
