"Tiny Tears" lyrics

"Tiny Tears"

You've been lying in bed for a week now
Wondering how long it'll take
You haven't spoke, or looked at her, in all that time
For they were the easiest lines you could break
She's been going around her business as usual
Always with that melancholy smile
But you were too busy looking into yourself
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

With 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

You've been thinking about the time you've been dreading
But now it seems that moment has arrived
She's at the edge of the bed, she gets in
But it's harder to turn the opposite way tonight

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
Don't let them pour all over me
