KOUROS feat DRS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(E. Stevens/P. Overstreet)

I don't want to see you cry
Your crying always changes my mind
And we know well
It's livin' hell
Pretending our love hasn't died
Though we tried

Before the tears, I'm leaving
Should've left a long time ago
'Cause it's clear we stopped believing anymore
And I'm so tired and empty
Since I found we've lost it all
And I'm leaving before the tears start to fall

Ooh I'm leaving before the tears start to fall

Sad to say
I'm on my way
And your heart will be breaking at dawn
I'll be gone

Before the tears, I'm leaving
Should've left a long time ago
'Cause it's clear we stopped believing anymore
And I'm so tired and empty
Since I found we've lost it all
And I'm leaving before the tears start to fall

Before the tears, I'm leaving
Should've left a long time ago
'Cause it's clear we stopped believing anymore
And I'm so tired and empty
Since I found we've lost it all
And I'm leaving before the tears start to fall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to KOUROS feat DRS's song Tears address the difficult decision of ending a love relationship that's no longer working. The singer expresses his reluctance to see his partner crying since it always makes him reconsider his decision to leave. Despite their efforts to keep their love alive, they have reached a point where there is simply no connection or passion left. It is an unbearable situation, and they are both living in hell by pretending that nothing is wrong. The singer admits that he should have left a long time ago but didn't, and now it's too late to fix things.


He knows that leaving will be heartbreaking for both of them, but it's something that has to be done. The lines "Sad to say, I'm on my way, and your heart will be breaking at dawn" capture the sentiment perfectly. He has no choice but to leave, and he's doing it before the tears start to fall. He's already drained and empty inside, and he can't handle the emotional weight of seeing his partner cry. Therefore, he's getting out before it's too late.


Overall, Tears is a powerfully emotional song that captures the pain, heartbreak, and inevitability of leaving a love that's no longer working. It speaks to anyone who has experienced the emotional turmoil of ending a relationship and the difficulty of saying goodbye when both parties still care deeply for each other.
