Tears Dry On Their Own (Live From Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London, 2007)

All I can ever be to you
Is a darkness that we knew
And this regret I've got accustomed to
Once it was so right
When we were at our height
Waiting for you in the hotel at night

I knew I hadn't met my match
But every moment we could snatch
I don't know why I got so attached
It's my responsibility
You don't owe nothing to me
But to walk away, I have no capacity

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I am grown
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I don't understand
Why do I stress the man
When there's so many bigger things at hand?
We could have never had it all
We had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal

Even if I stop wanting you
A perspective pushes through
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
I cannot play myself again
Just be my own best friend
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

So we are history (ah-ah-ah-ah)
Your shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, in this blue shade (oh, oh, ooh)
My tears dry on their own

I wish I could say no regrets
No emotional debts
But as we kiss goodbye, the sun sets
So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze that only lovers see

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

Thank you!
