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 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'm grown
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

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

Even if I stop wanting you, and perspective pushes true
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
I cannot play myself again, I should 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
Your shadow covers me
The sky above, a blaze

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... oh!

I wish I could say no regrets and no emotional debt
But as we kiss goodbye the sun sets
So we are history, your shadow covers me
The sky above, a blaze 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... oh!

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...

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