Drip Drop
Vanessa Hudgens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now only heaven knows
How I really feel inside
I try my best not to let it show
But late at night, In my room
I think of you and start to cry
But still you break my heart
Let's make no mistakes
We both know that
You're the one responsible
For hurting me this way
Now my tears fall like rain
Drip drop
When will my tear drops stop
Falling for you? - Tick tock
Steady as a clock, Drip drop
I'm hoping someday soon
I'll be over you - Drip drop
When will my tear drops stop
Falling for you? - Tick tock
Steady as a clock, Drip drop
I'm hoping someday soon
I'll be over you
It's a quater after twelve
I know I should be in bed
Boy you got me feeling sorry for myself
I must confess, this loneliness is killing me
I'm so upset
How could you break all your promises
Like you told me, You'd be there to hold me
I can not believe the way I fell for it
I was a fool to buy all the lies you sold me
Drip drop
When will my tear drops stop
Falling for you? - Tick tock
Steady as a clock, Drip drop
I'm hoping someday soon
I'll be over you - Drip drop
When will my tear drops stop
Falling for you? - Tick tock
Steady as a clock, Drip drop
I'm hoping someday soon
I'll be over you
Maybe we were never meant to be
I'm sorry that it took so long for me
To see what's happening
You come around and then it rains again
Drip drop...
Drip drop
When will my tear drops stop
Falling for you? - Tick tock
Steady as a clock, Drip drop
I'm hoping someday soon
I'll be over you - Drip drop
When will my tear drops stop
Falling for you? - Tick tock
Steady as a clock, Drip drop
I'm hoping someday soon
I'll be over you
It's raining, It's pouring
I try hard ignoring tese tears
I try so hard, Ignoring the tears
It's raining, It's pouring
I try hard ignoring these tears
In Vanessa Hudgens's song "Drip Drop," the lyrics express an emotional struggle of someone who is heartbroken and still in love. The song talks about hiding those feelings from the world but being unable to stop the tears from falling when no one is around. The use of imagery like "Drip Drop" and "rain" reinforces the sadness and despair the singer feels. The lyrics also carry an element of anger as the person blames their lover for hurting them and breaking their promises. They feel foolish for buying into the lies and think that they weren't meant to be together. However, despite all of this, they are still unable to stop their love for this person and long for the day when the tears will stop falling, and they can finally move on.

Love this song. Then again I don't think there is any song by Vanessa Hudgens I haven't like. She is such a talented singer. I remember listening to her when I was in high school.
