The Tears I Cry
Krypteria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wondered what life would be like if we were over and done
And I know that
I can't replace your face, your touch, your smile
I miss you like crazy, I'm lost inside
I promise I'll wait for you wasting my time
Trying to count all the tears I cry
When I'll rest my head tonight this house just won't feel like home
And I'll lay there helplessly yearning, staring all night at the phone
And I know that
I can't replace your face, your touch, your smile
I miss you like crazy, I'm lost inside
I promise I'll wait for you wasting my time
Trying to count all the tears I cry
The tears I cry
No, I can't replace your face, your touch, your smile
I miss you like crazy, I'm lost inside
I promise I'll wait for you wasting my time
Trying to count all the tears I cry
The tears I cry, the tears I cry
The tears I cry, the tears I cry

As she lays down in bed at night, the absence of the loved one makes the house feel empty and not like home. She yearns for the person and stares at the phone all night. She knows that waiting for the person is a waste of time, but she keeps doing it, trying to count how many tears she cries.

Just listened to 'Bloodangels Cry' which is very good, but I much prefer this album - could happily have this on repeat.
