Guess I expected a parade
But I was just another person
watching in the crowd
Didn't wanna come I was afraid
Afraid the sea behind my eyes
would come rushing out
But I was mildly underwhelmed
Looked me dead in the eyes
but couldn't tell
And you thought you loved me
oh so well
I didn't wanna know, I didn't
wanna know in the first place
It's so sad to see you go, but
why doesn't it show up on your
face?
I made an ocean crying over
you
So don't you think that it's the
least that you can do
Before you leave me, leave me
here
Is let me hold on to your tears
Let me hold on to your tears
Let me hold on to your tears
Let me hold on to your tears
Come on you must have some
to spare
But here I am lost in the
dessert that is on your face
'Cause just two months ago you
cared
But now there seems to be a
drought and there's no sign of
rain
But I was mildly underwhelmed
Looked me dead in the eyes
but couldn't tell
And you thought you loved me
oh so well
I didn't wanna know, I didn't
wanna know in the first place
It's so sad to see you go, but
why doesn't it show up on your
face?
I made an ocean crying over
you
So don't you think that it's the
least that you can do
Before you leave me, leave me
here
Is let me hold on to your tears
Let me hold on to your tears
Let me hold on to your tears
Let me hold on to your tears
Before you say goodbye can I
just see you cry?
I know I'm not asking for a lot
Just give me give me one drop
Before you say goodbye can I
just see you cry?
I know I'm not asking for a lot
Just give me give me one drop
I didn't wanna know, I didn't
wanna know in the first place
It's so sad to see you go, but
why doesn't it show up on your
face?
I made an ocean crying over
you
So don't you think that it's the
least that you can do
Before you leave me, leave me
here
Is let me hold on to your tears
Let me hold on to your tears
Let me hold on to your tears
Let me hold on to your tears
But I was just another person
watching in the crowd
Afraid the sea behind my eyes
would come rushing out
Looked me dead in the eyes
but couldn't tell
