Michelle Branch

I Want Tears

How does saying nothin' at all become so loud?

When does the silence settle in?

Nothing's wrong but nothing's right

We hold our breath and close our eyes

Let's get out on that ice, it's wearin' thin

How did we get so low it don't even hurt?

Yeah, why are we so comfortably still?

Here we are pretending that we're doing fine

Just scratching at the surface, just gettin' by

Don't you think it's that time we feel something real?

I want tears, I want rain

If that's what leads me back to you

Even if that means feelin' the pain, that's what we gotta do

Let it fall apart, come on and break my heart

Yeah, break it right in two

'Cause I don't want to smile if that means losin' you

I want tears

The kind that you can't help and you can't hold back

The ones that are waitin', burstin' at the seams

Baby, can't we find the strength to just let go and make a change?

'Cause I need somethin' more to make me believe

I want tears, I want rain

If that's what leads me back to you

Even if that means feelin' the pain, that's what we gotta do

Let it fall apart, come on and break my heart

Yeah, break it right in two

'Cause I don't want to smile if that means losin' you

Remember what we use to have

Baby, don't you want it bad?

Baby, we can get it back

I want tears, I want rain

If that's what leads me back to you

Even if that means feelin' the pain, that's what we gotta do

Let it fall apart, come on and break my heart

Yeah, break it right in two

'Cause I don't want to smile if that means losin' you

I don't want to smile if that means losin' you

I want tears

How does saying nothing at all become so loud?
