Every Tear Has A Reason Why Lyrics - Tim O'brien

Chorus 

Every day is a long time waiting 

Every night is alone and cryin' 

Your memory is a long time fadin' 

Every tear has a reason why, every tear has a reason why 

Echos are fillin' the hallways, bringin' back those better times 

The smell and the touch and the taste of you won't leave my mind 

You're a ghost in the house we lived in, I can feel you everywhere 

I know better than to hope that you still care 

But I keep lookin' for you out there 

Chorus 

You came in like the dawn of a new day, now the dark is settlin' in 

I don't know if I can find a life worth livin' again 

In the night, in the still of the shadows, I can't help but wonder why 

I bought into a trouble that no one else would buy 

And every tear has a reason why 

I chased you until you caught me, caught me so unaware 

Look at all the things you taught me about a dead end love affair 

Chorus
