Teardrops on My Guitar
Miss Sweet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he wont see
That i want and i needed
Everything that we should be
I bet she′s beautiful
That girl he talks about
And she's got everything
That i have to live without
Drew talks to me i laugh ′cause its just so funny
That i can't even see anyone
When he's with me
He says he′s so in love
He′s finally got it right
I wonder if he knows
He's all i think about at night!
He′s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wish'n
On a wish′n star
He's the song in the car i keep singin′
Dont know why i do
Drew walks by me
Can't he tell that i can't breathe?

And there he goes so perfectly
The kind of flawless i wish i could be

She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in thoes beautiful eyes
And know she′s lucky ′cause
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wish′n on a wish'n star
He′s the song in the car
I keep singin' dont know why i do
So i drive home alone
And as i turn out the light
I put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep at night!
′Cause he's the reason for
The teardrops on my guitar
The only one who knows enough of me to
Break my heart
He's the song in the car
I keep singin′ don′t know why i do
He's the time tick′n up
But there's never enough
And he′s all that i need to fall into




Drew looks at me i fake a smile
So he won't see...
