Tiny Tears

Band: Tindersticks

Album: Tindersticks (1995)

You've been lying in bed for a week now

Wondering how long it'll take

You haven't spoken or looked at her in all that time

It's the easiest line you could break

She's been going about her business as usual

Always with that melancholy smile

But you were too busy looking into your affairs

To see those tiny tears in her eyes

Tiny tears make up an ocean

Tiny tears make up a sea

Let them pour out, pour out all over

Don't let them pour all over me

How can you hurt someone so much

you're supposed to care for

Someone you said you'd always be there for

But when that water breaks

you know you're gonna cry, cry

When those tears start rolling you'll be back

Tiny tears...

You've been thinking about the time,

you've been dreading it

But now it seems that moment has arrived

She's at the edge of the bed,

she gets in

But it's hard to turn the opposite way tonight

Tiny tears...
