Tears Are in Your Eyes Lyrics
You tell me summer is here and the time is wrong
You tell me winter is here and your days are getting long
Tears are in your eyes
Tonight
You tell me that you haven't slept in days
You tell me sleeping only makes you tired anyway
Tears are in your eyes
Tonight
Tears are in your eyes
Every night
Although you don't believe me, you are strong
Darkness always turns into the dawn
And you won't even remember this for long
When it ends alright
Please tell me how you know tomorrow
While staring at your shoes
Tears are in your eyes
Every night
Tears are in your eyes
Every night
Tears are in your eyes
Tonight
You tell me winter is here and your days are getting long
Tonight
You tell me sleeping only makes you tired anyway
Tonight
Tears are in your eyes
Every night
Darkness always turns into the dawn
And you won't even remember this for long
When it ends alright
While staring at your shoes
Every night
Tears are in your eyes
Every night
Tears are in your eyes
Tonight

this is from the perspective of someone who is trying to be there for a friend/loved one who is having a hard time. it's hard to see someone have such disbelief in him/herself, when you see all the potential that that person has.
This is a consolation song about a person that has lost spring curls. This person is obviously stricken with grief because the oppressor/singer has forbidden the growth of new spring curls, especially during the winter seasons. Here, the oppressor is attempting to offer solace, but it is overtly done in a mocking tone. Thus, the victim continues to cry...every night.
good song.
Agreed.
Agreed.
I like this song, my sister and I were going through a tough time at home, and I remember talking when this song was on. Memories make the best songs.
it's all about helping some through tough time, especially if they are depressed
cute song. shows how people get so caught up in their problems and be so upset but will mostly always turn 'alright' again and realise that they were being stupid and then forget.
wonderful
I like catherineks post, spot on for me. Personally this song means a whole lot. I have a dear friend who is going through a very tough time..she is someone i also have very strong feelings for and she is conflicted between "head and heart" in regards to myself :-(. She also lives in another town :'(. Anyway..
The "Although you don't believe me, you are strong.." really struck me the first time i heard it as i have said those exact words to her before. As i am sure many have in similar circumstances.
She sent me this song over Messenger.
I've been through something just like that man. It's tough. I really liked her and she liked me and I thought it was all going to happen and then one night she called me and said she couldn't give herself to me until she let go of this one guy she really liked a year ago. It was terrible. It happened so fast. Now I'm trying to get out of another relationship that hasn't worked out either. It's so messy and heartbreaking. I need to stop trying..

I love this song. So much.
I love this song. It really helps me when I'm down. And when I'm not, it reminds me to be kind to those who are.
