When They Hear About My Tears

I'm closing my eyes again
Getting it into my head that everything was temporary
Your touch on me
Your kisses on my cheeks
It lasted decades, but I have to believe it passed like a breeze
So I don't get burned and hurt even more

Maybe he feels what I feel
Maybe he knows everything that goes on in my mind, in my body
My shadows join theirs
In my nightmares
Our hearts were shattered
And our eyes were burned

When they hear about my tears
It's because I haven't been reborn yet
When they hear about my tears
It means I still feel the worst pain

It's all free now
My soul can breathe
My heart can beat
My eyes can cry
My life can go on without him
I can reinvent myself
I can write songs about it
It's all free now
I know I can't erase it
This is still part of me

Walking from bar to bar
Missing that touch
I'm wearing your hoodie
He's all soaked with my tears and the rain

My heart stopped for a moment
I thought he was watching me
I sat on the cobblestone
And I screamed for him to come back
So that I wouldn't cry

When they hear about my tears
It's because I haven't been reborn yet
When they hear about my tears
It means I still feel the worst pain

It's all free now
My soul can breathe
My heart can beat
My eyes can cry
My life can go on without him
I can reinvent myself
I can write songs about it
It's all free now
I know I can't erase it
This is still part of me

When they hear about my tears
It's because I haven't been reborn yet
When they hear about my tears
It means I still feel the worst pain
