Tears Dry On Their Own (the Voice Performance) Lyrics - Lilli Passero

All I can ever be to you 

Is the darkness that we knew, 

And this regret I've got accustomed to. 

Once it was so right, 

When we were at our high, 

Waiting for you in the hotel at night. 

I knew I hadn't met my match, 

But every moment we could snatch, 

I don't know why I got so attached. 

It's my responsibility, 

And you don't owe nothing to me, 

But to walk away I have no capacity. 

[Chorus:] 

He walks away, 

The sun goes down, 

He takes the day 

But I'm grown, 

And in your way, 

In this blue shade 

My tears dry on their own. 

I don't understand 

Why do I stress a man 

When there's so many bigger things at hand. 

We coulda never had it all, 

We had to hit a wall, 

So this is inevitable withdrawal. 

Even if I stop wanting you, 

A perspective pushes through, 

I'll be some next man's other woman soon. 

I shouldn't play myself again, 

I should just be my own best friend, 

Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men. 

[Chorus] 

So we are history, 

Your shadow covers me 

The sky above, 

A blaze, 

[Chorus] 

I wish I could say no regrets, 

And no emotional debts, 

'Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets 

So we are history, 

The shadow covers me, 

The sky above, 

A blaze that only lovers see, 

He walks away, 

The sun goes down, 

He takes the day 

But I'm grown, 

And in your way, 

My blue shade 

My tears dry on their own. 

He walks away, 

The sun goes down, 

He takes the day 

But I'm grown, 

And in your way, 

My deep shade 

My tears dry on their own. 

He walks away, 

The sun goes down, 

He takes the day 

But I'm grown, 

And in your way, 

My deep shade 

My tears dry
