Lyrics 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
