I Want Tears - Michelle Branch

How does saying nothing 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

And skate out on that ice that’s wearing thin

How do we get so numb, 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 getting by Don’t you think it’s time that we feel something real?

I want tears, I want rain

If that’s what leads me back to you

Even if that means feeling the pain

If 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 wanna smile if that means losing you

I want tears

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

The ones that are waiting bursting at the seams

Baby, can’t we find the strength

To just let go and make a change?

'Cause I need something more to make me believe

I want tears, I want rain

If that’s what leads me back to you

Even if that means feeling the pain

If 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 wanna smile if that means losing you

Remember what we used to have

And 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 feeling the pain

If 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 wanna smile if that means losing you

I don’t wanna smile if that means losing you

I want tears

How does saying nothing at all become so loud?
