Lyrics
Tears are for the lonely | Tears are for the sad | And tears are what I?m cryin? | Because I?m feelin? so bad || Tears are for the lonely | And so lonely am I | My life has been so empty | Since the day you said goodbye || Oh the love that we had | Was just a thing of the past | It?s so hard to realize | That it ended so fast | The love I thought would last || Tears are for the lonely | Tears are for the sad | And tears are what I?m cryin? | Because I?m feelin? so bad || Tears are for the lonely | And so lonely am I | My life has been so empty | Since the day you said goodbye || I pull this coat upon my skin | To preserve the warmth | Where your embrace has been | I must retain my memory | Because you say you wont come back to me || Oh the love that we had | Was just a thing of the past | It?s so hard to realize | That it ended so fast | The love I thought would last | The love I thought would last || Tears are for the lonely | Tears are for the sad | And tears are what I?m cryin? | Because I?m feelin? so bad || Tears are for the lonely | Tears are for the sad | Tears are for the lonely | Tears Tears Tears
