Tears
Kylie Minogue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never would say
I never need anyone
Not now I have knowing
Of the real love
And I need to have you
I could never give it up
'Cause the hurt would be too much
And the feeling I'm feeling
Is a feeling I like
It's only when I'm with you
That I feel all right
I'm amazed that it's come to this

I love you to tears
I love you to tears

Ooh, falling into you
I've fallen on my feet
My world was only turnin'
So that we could meet
And I want you always
I could never run away
Workin' destiny today

And the givin' I'm givin'
Is a givin' I like
It's easy when I'm with you
To give into life
I'm amazed that it's come to this

I love you to tears
I love you to tears
I love you to tears
I love you to tears

Happier than high, this is happening
So cool to have this salt water on my skin
It's not a pool of sorrow that I'm harbouring
These are tears of joy that I'm swimming in

Happier than high, this is happening
So cool to have this salt water on my skin
It's not a pool of sorrow that I'm harbouring
These are tears of joy that I'm swimming in

Happier than high
I'm happier than high
I'm happier than high
I'm happier than high

I love you to tears
I love you to tears
I love you to tears
I love you to tears
I love you to tears
I love you to tears





I love you to tears

Overall Meaning

In "Tears," Kylie Minogue reflects on her past relationships and her new understanding of what real love feels like. She acknowledges that she once claimed to never need anyone, but now recognizes the beauty of having someone to love and be loved by. She expresses that she cannot imagine giving up this love, as the thought of the pain it would cause is too much to bear. When she is with this person, she feels secure and genuine joy. She is grateful for the destiny that brought them together and the easy giving that comes with loving them.


The chorus, "I love you to tears," is a proclamation of her love for this person. She falls for them easily and finds solace in their presence. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, as Kylie describes herself as "happier than high" and reveling in the "tears of joy" that come with being in love. This is a theme seen throughout the song - that real love is not without challenges, but the positive emotions it brings far outweigh any struggle.

My sister used to love this song when we were kids- she passed away in 1996 in a boat accident on her way back from High School graduation- I cry every time I listen to this song! Until we meet again my lovely sis Meg!
