Tears Of Rain
The Blue Collars Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So go ahead and throw another hissy fit
Cause i can no longer be bothered with it
These hidden feelings that just come about
Im starting to wonder if we should of left it out
And i dont see why you've got an attitude
I dish out compliments i get no grattitude
And i know that i should never of let you go
But you were telling more lies than pinokeo

And as a tear falls down
The rain falls down
And as a tear falls down
The rain falls down
And i miss being held
And i miss being touched
And i miss being talked to
And i miss being loved
And i miss being held
And i miss being touched
And i miss being talked to
And i miss being loved
And i miss being held
And i miss being touched
And i miss being talked to
And i miss being loved
And i miss being held
And i miss being touched
And i miss being talked to
And i miss being loved
Well now i think that its about time that we made amends
As you're making contact through your contact lense
And you've done up your hair i know its plain to see
You've been through so many lads you've got a STD
I've been walking round for time wondering where you've been
I never thought that i'd of seen you with him
And i think of you now as i write this song
Because you're only with me until someone better comes along
And as a tear falls down
The rain falls down
And as a tear falls down
The rain falls down
And i miss being held
And i miss being touched
And i miss being talked to
And i miss being loved
And i miss being held
And i miss being touched
And i miss being talked to
And i miss being loved
And i miss being held
And i miss being touched
And i miss being talked to
And i miss being loved
And i miss being held
And i miss being touched
And i miss being talked to
And i miss being loved
Just trying to get your attention
You're always looking for attention

Just trying to get your attention
You're always looking for attention

Overall Meaning

The Blue Collars’ “Tears of Rain” is a melancholic song about a broken relationship. The opening lines reveal how the singer has grown tired of the constant fights, as he expresses his annoyance towards his partner’s tantrums. The feelings that were previously kept hidden have surfaced, and the singer wonders if it was best to leave them unsaid. The partner’s attitude adds to his frustration, as he feels unappreciated despite his efforts to be kind. This lyric perfectly encapsulates the frustrations of an unsatisfied lover and conveys the brokenness of the relationship.

The chorus begins with the titular line, “And as a tear falls down, the rain falls down.” This beautiful metaphor compares the tears of the singer to raindrops, reflecting the sadness and the emotional turmoil experienced by a broken heart. As the song progresses, the singer expresses his desire to be held, touched, talked to, and loved again. These lines strike a chord with anyone who has gone through a breakup and yearns for the comfort of the past. Towards the end, the singer has a moment of realization that he is merely the current fling of his partner, and she will leave him when someone better comes along. The song ends with the repeated lines, “Just trying to get your attention. You're always looking for attention.’’ The lyrics imply that the partner craves attention, leading to the constant arguments that eventually broke the relationship.
