When My Tears Break Through

Sometime I lie in bed when the night is still and wonder why Livin’ everyday in a world of bad news and I just don’t cry Oh, not when the war began, mmmm, not when the fairy tale ends Just say you love me and I know it’s true Ooooh, that’s when my tears break through Seems like everyday there’s a heavy load waitin’ at my feet I just pick it up till my back is bowed and head up the street I don’t cry when the dam comes down, yeah, we watch it with this whole damn town You offer a hand that I can hold onto Ooooh that’s when my tears break through Bridge: I feel no pain and sorrow When you leave me standing on the avenue But when you tell me you’ll be back tomorrow Ohhhh that’s when my tears break through Yeah that’s when my tears break through Now I can walk around in this dirty old town all alone No matter what I see staring back at me, my eyes are dry as a bone Wretched and lost, reaching up to me, Like I could rescue them from misery But when you look at me the way you do Ooooh, that’s when my tears break through Yeah, that’s when my tears break through Ohhh, that’s when my tears break through Outro
