"Tears In Your Eyes" lyrics

It's something tragic
Can't tell the tale without a frown
We got dramatic
I caused a scene, you shut it down
It's so pathetic
Sympathetic in the way I shut my mouth
Couldn't say it, but you knew I wanted out

It's been a while since we left
I finally forgot what it's like to regret
'Cause deep down, I know I'll never write another love song
'Cause I'd have to think 'bout you
And deep down
I thought you'd never have the guts to come back, but you do

You're reaching out, I'm holding on to all the love we left behind
You try to call, I'm still recovering from the tears in your eyes
When goodbye felt like forever, 'stead of "see you again"
Back when you thought that we could never be friends

Cut to static
It's hard to think with all the noise
My mind is spinning tryna fathom all the trauma you endured at my hands
How'd I get to where you're fine, and I'm the one that's a mess?
God, I guess
That's the difference between forgive and forget

'Cause deep down, I know I'll never write another love song
'Cause I'd have to think 'bout you
And deep down
I thought you'd never have the guts to come back, but you do

You're reaching out, I'm holding on to all the love we left behind
You try to call, I'm still recovering from the tears in your eyes
When goodbye felt like forever, 'stead of "see you again"
Back when you thought that we could never be friends

You're reaching out, I'm holding on to all the love we left behind
You try to call, I'm still recovering from the tears in your eyes
When goodbye felt like forever, 'stead of "see you again"
Back when you thought that we could never be friends
