tears of clay

it's another lonely longing night

you're nowhere in sight

if i said something to make you think twice

please don't hesitate this time

here you go knocking over things

didn't think love could sting

why are you doing this again

who knew a love so new would stain

i'm left with tears of clay

wish you'd learn to stay

in a window of lost souls

you were the one i didn't want to let go

if loving me was so tough

why didn't you give up?

cause now i'm stuck with tears of clay

instead of pure hate

you blamed everything on me

you should learn to take responsibility

it wasn't all my fault we fell out

but tell me what's that all about?

i tried to defend you to my family

guess you were the one true enemy

i swam through our memories

but none of that's bringing you back to me

i'm left with tears of clay

wish you'd learn to stay

in a window of lost souls

you were the one i didn't want to let go

if loving me was so tough

why didn't you give up?

cause now i'm stuck with tears of clay

instead of pure hate
