Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

Tears

All the time was sad

All the lights were bright

You were not around

On my lonely night

And tears were dripping from my eye

And I was feeling like I could die

Love was leaving me

Packed its bags to go

In a broken dream

It was such a drag

And I could cry like nothing was right

And I could die in the dead of night

And so I cry my tear

So sorry you're not here

My deepest darkest fear

The love that never was

Tears that hate me, tears that fake me

And you know I gotta go

Tears that wake me, tears that have me

And I know you had to go away

All the love we had

Have we all gone mad?

Like a T.V. show

And we were all the cast

Like I would never see you again

Like the dream had just began

And our brains were blocked

To think that we would not

Make it to the shore

What a horrible thought!

Our hearts still beating at the door

And we were just a tired bore

And so I cry my tear

So sorry you're not here

My deepest darkest fear

The love that never was

Tears that hate me, tears that fake me

Don't you know I had to go

Tears that shake me, it's too late for me

Don't you know I love you so

Tears that wake me, tears that have me

It was written in the snow

Tears that fake me, tears that hate me

Don't you know I had to go away
