Tears
Kotch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As the sun sets
And the night goes around
I can feel
My emotions comin' down
And now as i try
To cover up my face
Saying to myself
"Tonight I will forget"
Tears, tears
Falling down like a rain
Tears, tears
Another heart knows my pain
Tears, tears
All the tears a heart must cry
Tears, tears
Now the tear become a good cry
If I could go back and
Change the hands of the clock
My heart would be sinking
When you heard it tick-tock
For the one that I love has gone
Far, far away
It gets harder and harder
To face another day
Tears, tears
Falling down like a rain
Tears, tears
Another heart knows my pain
Tears, tears
All the tears a heart must cry
Tears, tears
Now the tear become a good cry
Ooh... hoo...
Ooh... hoo...
Ooh... hoo...
Ooh... hoo...
As the sun sets
And the night goes around
I can feel
My emotions comin' down
And now as i try
To cover up my face
Saying to myself
"Tonight I will forget"
Tears, tears
Falling down like a rain
Tears, tears
Another heart knows my pain
Tears, tears
All the tear a heart must cry
Tears, tears
Now the tear become a good cry
If I could go back and
Change the hands of the clock
My heart would be sinking
When you heard it tick-tock
For the one that I love has gone
Far, far away
It gets harder and harder
To face another day
Tears, tears
All the tears a heart must cry
Tears, tears
Now the tear become a good cry
Tears, oh tears, tears
All the tears a heart must cry
Tears, tears
Now the tear become a good cry




Tears, tears
Oh ohhh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Kotch's song "Tears" refer to the emotional and physical pain one experiences after a loved one departs. The song talks about the difficulty of moving on from heartbreak, the desperation to forget all the memories, and the overwhelming sadness that keeps following one's thoughts.


The chorus of the song, "Tears, tears, Falling down like rain," expresses the emotion of tears flowing uncontrollably, expressing the hurt felt by the singer. The lyrics suggest the existence of a person who can understand their pain, as the phrase "Another heart knows my pain" is being repeated several times.


The songwriter wishes to reverse time as the person they love has gone far, and he is struggling to adjust to life without them. In the final stanza, they come to a realization that, although tears seem painful now, they will someday bring healing, changing from being tears of pain to becoming tears of joy, as exemplified by the line, "Now the tear becomes a good cry." The song, therefore, finishes off on a positive note, emphasizing the healing that occurs with time.
