LETRA
Tears
(I know I'm never gettin' back
all my tears from you)
I don't even care anymore
You can keep the pain of it all
I know I'm never gettin' back
all my tears from you
I ain't mad that you made 'em fall
You can keep the weight of it all
I know I'm never gettin' back
all my tears from you
Ooh
I haven't thought about you once in months
It's startin' to feel like (Feel like)
You were nothin' but a bad dream (Bad dream)
Ah, ooh
I finally get to see how good I look
With no clouds in my eyes (My eyes)
And I gotta say, I'm tempting (Tempting)
Oh, said you're sorry now
You should've been sorry then (Mm)
But you'll never see me cry again
I don't even care anymore (Don't care no more)
You can keep the pain of it all (Can keep it all)
I know I'm never gettin' back
all my tears from you
I ain't mad that you made 'em fall (You made 'em fall)
You can keep the weight of it all (The weight at all)
I know I'm never gettin' back
all my tears from you
Oh, I don't, I don't, I don't want 'em back
That's all, that's all that I'll let you have
Hold on to them 'cause that was the last
Of all my tears from you
You could spill 'em on the floor, they're yours
So do what you want, babe
I've been better off without them
'Cause I like me more now than I did back then
Just removed you from the situation
And you'll never see me cry again
I don't even care anymore (Don't care no more)
You can keep the pain of it all (Oh-ah, can keep it all)
I know I'm never gettin' back
all my tears from you
I ain't mad that you made 'em fall (You made 'em fall)
You can keep the weight of it all
(You can keep it, the weight at all)
I know I'm never gettin' back all my tears
from you, yeah (Never gettin' back all my tears from you)
Oh, I don't, I don't, I don't want 'em back
That's all, that's all that I'll let you have
Hold on to them 'cause that was the last (Do-do, do-do)
Of all my tears from you
I don't, I don't, I don't want 'em back
(My tears from you)
That's all, that's all that I'll let you have
(My tears from you)
Hold on to them 'cause that was the last
(My tears from you)
