Tears
T.O.K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Staring through the pain.
I can't see the rainbow for the rain.
Someday I'll forget you.
Life goes on, they say;
But they don't know what's standing in my way.
There's a wall of tears that I got to get over.
Got to learn not to love you.
I know the sun will shine,
I'm gonna be fine, but until then:
The rain's gonna fall just like a wall of tears.
Another morning finds me
Still not over you,
Just another day to stumble through.
Nights go on forever,
I've got nothing but time;
Even time can't mend this heart of mine.
There's a wall of tears that I got to get over.
Got to stop thinking of you;
Got to learn not to love you.
I know the sun will shine,
I'm gonna be fine, but until then:
The rain's gonna fall just like a wall of tears.
They're gonna fall like a wall of tears.
Oh, oh, gonna fall.
Fall, fall, fall, like a wall of tears.
The lyrics to T.O.K.'s "Tears" speak of heartbreak and trying to move on from a lost love. The singer is looking through a window, staring at the rainfall and unable to see the rainbow for the rain. He/she believes that life goes on, but they can't seem to move forward because there is something standing in their way. This could be the pain of the breakup, memories of the past, or simply the inability to forget the person they lost.
The singer sings about the struggles of trying to move on from someone they still love. There is a "wall of tears" that's stopping them from getting over the heartbreak. They have to stop thinking of the lost love and learn not to love them. The only thing that consoles them is the promise that the sun will eventually shine and they will be fine. Until then, however, the rain will continue to fall like a wall of tears.
The song is a relatable portrayal of heartbreak and the struggles that come with it. It highlights the pain of trying to move on, the constant reminders of what was lost, and the hope of eventually healing. The song's chorus is particularly powerful, with the repetition of the phrase "wall of tears" emphasizing the overwhelming nature of the heartbreak.

Tears, Tears falling down your window pane
For years years, all the time he caused you pain
tears, tears, learn to live and love again
now that your stronger, you need him no longer
Verse1: the first day you met him he was perfect gentleman
nobody knew what he had in stored for you
as the seasons changed, he changed
and then u knew that it was over the first day he laid hands on you
(Chorus)Tears, Tears falling down your window pane
For years years, all the time he caused you pain
tears, tears, learn to live and love again
now that your stronger, you need him no longer
Verse 2: hit the road, shut the door, yuh nuh want him back no more
yuh did ah warn,yuh did ah tell him,but him did ah ignore
now things cant go back to the way they were before
even with the rings, and the bling, and the things from the store
yuh tell yaself no dis yah nah go take it
when the violence get domestic dat nuh make it
life is the most precious thing when yuh check it
time to move on its for the best, yuuh nah regret it
(Chorus)Tears, Tears falling down your window pane
For years years, all the time he caused you pain
tears, tears, learn to live and love again
now that your stronger, you need him no longer
Verse: its been so long he's hurt you ,girl and i know, you've been crying your eyes out
baby it shows
put your hand in mine
let me dry your tears, you'll get through it
Tears, Tears falling down your window pane
For years years, all the time he caused you pain
tears, tears, learn to live and love again
now that your stronger, you need him no longer

@roh_gamu I don’t think getting abused physically, mentally and emotionally and cheated on is the fault of any woman. Idk who hurt you but you need to stay in your lane.

I hope you grow stronger and never get back into another toxic environment.
