It's Only Tears

Johnny Logan


It’s only tears we cry
It’s only words that lie
If you’re ever gonna leave me
Better break my heart tonight

It’s only tears we cry
When we know we have to say goodbye
If you’re ever gonna leave me
Better leave me tonight

Stop, you’re gonna hurt me if you try to stay
Go and find a new love, it’s better that way
Stop looking at me, before it’s too late
Don’t you know our sorrow will be here tomorrow
And love is not a game we can play

It’s only tears we cry
It’s only words that lie
If you’re ever gonna leave me
Better break my heart tonight, yeah

It’s only tears we cry
When we know we have to say goodbye
If you’re ever gonna leave me
Better leave me tonight

Stop, I don’t believe you, I know you won’t stay
Go and find another who needs you that way
Stop chasing rainbows, before it’s too late
Don’t you know our sorrow will be here tomorrow
And love is not a game we can play

If you ever want me
If you ever need me, yeah
I’ll be there, I swear

It’s only tears we cry
It’s only words that lie
If you’re ever gonna leave me
Better break my heart tonight, yeah

It’s only tears we cry
When we know we have to say goodbye
If you’re ever gonna leave me
Better leave me tonight
