tears
Matrix & Futurebound Ft. Robert Owens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a heavy roll
Our love is a script
And you carry total control
Like a clown and I've been smiling
Whenever people were all around
But when the curtain comes down
And the circus is through
Tears
So many tears and my tears
One word could wash them away
One word could take the place
Uh and baby I just want you looking my eyes
I've been crying and girl
Can't you see? oh and girl
One word could wash them away
One word could take the place
The lyrics of Matrix & Futurebound Ft. Robert Owens's song, Tears, touch on the theme of deception and heartbreak in a relationship. The opening line, "I'm a real good actor," suggests that the singer is not being genuine in his relationship with his lover. He feels that he is playing a part, and his lover holds all the power in their relationship. He compares their love to a script, where he has to play a role, and she controls the narrative. The metaphor of the circus highlights the facade he puts on in public, where he pretends to be happy and smile but breaks down in his private moments.
The chorus delves deeper into the emotions of the singer. The recurring line, "So many tears and my tears," emphasizes the intensity of his pain. He believes that if his lover uttered one word, all his tears would go in vain, and everything would be alright again. He pleads with her to look into his eyes and see the suffering he is going through, hoping that she would understand and mend their relationship.
The lyrics of Tears highlight how relationships can be complex and cruel when people are not sincere with each other. The metaphor of the circus shows how people can mask their suffering and put up a show for the world, leaving behind a trail of tears. At its core, the song is an appeal for honesty and understanding in a relationship.

I'm a real good actor
I pretend well and hide my true emotions
This is a heavy roll
Our relationship is challenging and requires effort
Our love is a script
Our relationship has a predetermined set of actions and events
And you carry total control
You have power over me and our relationship
Like a clown and I've been smiling
I've been putting on a happy face like a performer
Whenever people were all around
I only did it when others were present
But when the curtain comes down
When we're alone and there's no one watching
And the circus is through
When the act is over and we're alone
No one is left but me you and all my
It's just us and my emotions
Tears
My tears that I've been holding back
So many tears and my tears
I have cried a lot and have many tears
One word could wash them away
Your forgiveness or a simple apology could ease my pain
One word could take the place
Your love and understanding could replace the hurt
Uh and baby I just want you looking my eyes
I need you to see the pain and emotion in my eyes
I've been crying and girl
I have been silently crying and hurting
Can't you see? oh and girl
Can't you see how much I need your comfort and love?
