Teardrops Lyrics

[Intro: Oli Sykes]
Teardrops

[Verse 1: Oli Sykes]
We hurt ourselves for fun
Force-feed our fear until our hearts go numb
Addicted to a lonely kind of love
What I wanna know

[Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes]
Is how we got this stressed out, paranoid
Everything is going dark
Nothing makes me sadder than my head

[Chorus: Oli Sykes]
I'm running outta teardrops, let it hurt till it stops
I can't keep my grip, I'm slipping away from me
Oh, God, everything is so fucked, but I can't feel a thing
The emptiness is heavier than you think

[Verse 2: Oli Sykes]
I'm tripping on the edge
High as a kite, I'm never coming down
And if you hear me, guess you know how it feels
To be alone

[Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes]
So how'd we get this stressed out, paranoid?
Everything is going dark
Nothing makes me sadder than my head

[Chorus: Oli Sykes]
I'm running outta teardrops, let it hurt till it stops
I can't keep my grip, I'm slipping away from me
Oh, God, everything is so fucked, but I can't feel a thing
The emptiness is heavier than you think

[Bridge: Oli Sykes]
Suicidal, violent tragic state of mind
Lost my halo, now I'm my own anti-christ
Suicidal, violent, tragic state of mind
Lost my halo, now I'm my own anti-christ

[Chorus: Oli Sykes]
I'm running outta teardrops, let it hurt till it stops
I can't keep my grip, I'm slipping away from me
Oh, God, everything is so fucked, but I can't feel a thing
The emptiness is heavier than you think
I'm running outta teardrops, let it hurt till it stops
I can't keep my grip, I'm slipping away from me
Oh, God, everything is so fucked, but I can't feel a thing
The emptiness is heavier than you think

[Outro: Oli Sykes & Jordan Fish]
Teardrops
Teardrops
I'm running outta teardrops
The emptiness is heavier than you think

Cover art for Teardrops lyrics by Bring Me the Horizon

Vocalist Oli Sykes’s explains the song is about concepts of tech addiction & media addiction. In other words, he feels that we in the modern world – youth especially – have become too accustomed to receiving bad news as it seems to be all around us, being relayed by various channels, these days. So he credits that as being the source of his and others’ aforementioned less-than-ideal mental state, i.e. having their brains flooded & numbed by the influx of too much negative information.
