Half These Tears Lyrics

take my plea and throw it into the sea
watch it sink and fall
watch the words dissolve my plea

take my lie and hammer it to the sky
for all to see, for all to see
for all to deny my lie

and i will still cry
if i know you're alright
i will still cry
if i know you're alright
i will still cry
if i know you're alright

take my hand and turn it into a candle
burn it from both ends
it'll never mend my end

suck my breath in
till there's nothing left
till i'm blue in the face
till i'm finished wasting my breath

and i will still cry
if i know you're alright
i will still cry
if i know you're alright
i will still cry
if i know you're alright

i will cry for two
half these tears for you
in joy for you
in joy for you

i will still cry
if i know you're alright

i will cry for two
half these tears for you
in joy for you
in joy for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It looks to me like Hutch is singing about having broken off relations with a girl and then her rejecting his pleas to take him back...
