Lyrics Ilse DeLange

Ilse DeLange

Old Tears

Walking that line, saying I'm fine

Thought I kicked you off my mind long ago

Though you tore me apart when you broke my heart

I never, ever, ever let it show

I can't keep this storm inside me anymore

I can't stop this rain that's got to pour

I'm crying old tears

The dam is breaking after all these years

And you know what, I don't care

I don't care who sees me cry

I've been so strong

But there's no way that I can move on

No, this pain will never disappear

Until I cry these old tears

Just the littlest thing

The sound of your name

I start to feel this ache inside my soul

I try to lock it all in, push it all down

It's just so hard to keep it in control

I could fill the ocean baby, I'm so blue

The only way that I'll get over losing you

Is crying old tears
