These Aren't Tears, They're Atom Bombs Lyrics

Look me in the eye
When you tell me you don't love me
It'll help you feel the pain you're trying to ignore
I'm not afraid to die
But I'm scared to death I'll lose you
Your fragrance slowly fades from my shoulder

Is this what love feels like, when it's over?
I wish to god I didn't know
I wish to god I didn't care
Is this what blood feels like, when it runs colder?
I wish that I could sleep
I wish that I was hers

And so this is goodbye
My heart tells me it's over
The drive helps ease the pain
I wish that god was closer
Resolved to say goodbye
So don't try me

I want your love
Not your pity

Is this what love feels like, when it's over?
I wish to god I didn't know
I wish to god I didn't care
Is this what blood feels like, when it runs colder?
I wish that I could sleep
I wish that I was hers

They say time heals all
Well that may ring true for some
But they haven't felt your blade

Is this what love feels like, when it's over?
I wish to god I didn't know
I wish to god I didn't care
Is this what blood feels like, when it runs colder?
I wish that I could sleep
I wish that I was hers

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.

this is my favorite song. I think it's about a guy who still is in love with this girl, but is trying to convince himself he isn't.

sadly, he is. "I want your love Not your pity" He doesn't want the girl to feel bad, he just wants her to love him.
