Amy Winehouse
Lioness: Hidden Treasures

Tears Dry (original version)

All I can ever be to you is a darkness we once knew

And this deep regret I had to get accustomed to

Once it felt so right as if a place was not as high

Lived and waited in the hotel room late at night



I knew I hadn't met my match but every moment we could snatch

I don't know why I let myself get so attached

It's my responsibility and you don't owe nothing to me

But to let myself walk, I have no capacity



He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day but I'm gone

And in your way in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own



I don't understand, why do I stress the man

When there's so many better things than him at hand

We could have never had it all, we had to hit a wall

And this is inevitable withdrawal



Even if I stop wanting you, a perspective pushes through

I'll be some next man's other woman soon

I cannot play myself again, I shoulda be my own best friend

Not f*ck myself in the head with stupid men



He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day but I'm gone

And in your way in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own



I wish I could sing no regrets and no emotional debts

And as we kiss goodbye the sun begins to set

So we are history, your shadow covers me

The sky above, a blaze that only lovers see



He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day but I'm gone

And in your way in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own



He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day but I am gone

Baby in your way in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own



In your way in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own



In your way in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own



In your way in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own
