Tears Dry Songtext

von Amy Winehouse

All I can ever be to you,
Is the darkness we once knew,
And this deep regret I had to get accustomed to
Once it felt so right
Anticipation at its height,
Lived in and waiting in hotel room late at night
I knew I hadn't met my match,
With every moment we could snatch,
I don't know why I let myself get so attached,
It's my responsibility,
And you don't owe nothing to me,
But to cut myself of I had no capacity

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

I don't understand,
Why do I stress a man,
When there's so many better things than him at hand,
We could have never had it all
We had to hit a wall,
And this is inevitable withdrawal,
Even if I stop wanting you,
And perspective pushes thru,
I'll be some next man's other woman soon,

I cannot play myself again,
I should not be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men,

Wish I could say no regrets
And no emotional debts
And as we kiss goodbye
The sun behind you sets
So we are history
Your shadow covers me,
The sky above
Ablaze only that only lovers see

He walks away,
The whole sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown
Baby in your grey
In this cool shade,
My tears dry on their own,

Yeah, leave your grey to shade
My tears dry on their own
