[Intro]
Rhythmic acoustic guitar picking & heavy, slow 808 sub-bass
(Isochronic tone pulsing faintly in the background)
(Heavy breath into the mic)
(I go through our messages... did you know that?)
(Yeah... empty hook.)
(Listen to me...)
[Verse 1]
Checking to see if I said the right thing
Making sure my words gave the exact right meaning
Someone else out there has been trying to chase me
But you haven't even nipped at my lure
You haven't nibbled at my lips, or spoken in my love language
While I'm sitting here, trying not to beg...
(T-t-trying not to beg, mmm, no)
[Pre-Chorus]
We've prayed together and you called me your friend
And we've sat and cuddled in the heavy silence
Hearing your heartbeat like we had all the time in the world
Gotten so close... but yet we're so far!
Missing the net, hook empty!
(Hook is empty, yeah!)
[Chorus]
These are the tears that cry!
(Tears that cry!)
When the soul is heavy and the well runs dry!
Pouring out the pain from the inside out
Washing away the shadows and the doubt!
(Yeah, let 'em fall, let 'em fall)
These are the tears that cry!
[Verse 2]
So what if I get caught by the wrong man?
What if I change my whole world, just 'cause I took the bait?
Fell for his pursuit and the words on how he wants me
And you're just sleeping...
(Wh-why are you sleeping on me?)
I'm your last thought, but I come running when you need me
Why don't you want me?
(Why don't you want me, uh)
[Pre-Chorus]
We've prayed together and you called me your friend
And we've sat and cuddled in the heavy silence
Hearing your heartbeat like we had all the time in the world
Gotten so close... but yet we're so far!
Missing the net, hook empty!
(Pull it back, pull it back!)
[Chorus]
These are the tears that cry!
(Tears that cry!)
When the soul is heavy and the well runs dry!
Pouring out the pain from the inside out
Washing away the shadows and the doubt!
(Yeah, let 'em fall, let 'em fall)
These are the tears that cry!
[Verse 3]
Stripped back to just raw vocals and snapping, highly intimate
You haven't touched me or pleased me
And when I see a man, all I want is to serve, touch and please them
But my Love Language is touch and acts of service
And I haven't figured you out yet.
How much more of my soul do I have to pour?
I'm standing barefoot on this cold wooden floor.
(Cold floor... mmm...)
I'm taking my heart back off the line.
(It's mine. It's all mine.)
[Bridge]
Bass aggressively swells back in, Isochronic tone pulses loudly
(Speaking in tongues: Sha-ma-ha-ra-ta! Break the chains!)
(Yeah, break 'em down, shoo-wop, break 'em down!)
I'm reeling it in!
I'm cutting the line!
No more begging for a heart that ain't mine!
(That ain't mine, no!)
[Chorus]
These are the tears that cry!
(Tears that cry!)
When the soul is heavy and the well runs dry!
Pouring out the pain from the inside out
Washing away the shadows and the doubt!
(Yeah, let 'em fall, let 'em fall)
These are the tears that cry!
[Outro]
Fading Acoustic, Healing Binaural Frequencies
(Tears that cry...)
(Missing the net...)
(I'm cutting the line.)
(Mmm... tune it out)
[Fade Out]
[End]
