Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Black tears
One will fall for every good year
Rolling down my face
Inside, I'm dying
Outside, I'm crying black tears
[Verse 2]
Your kiss
Killed me on that night
As your lips
Left a bitter taste
And inside, I'm dying
Outside, I'm crying black tears
[Verse 3]
Mmm, how did it all go wrong?
We seemed to have it all
But it's broken, and I'm running
And I'm scared
So I pray to god above
It's a sin when we don't love
It's so quiet, can you hear me?
Are you there?
[Verse 4]
Mmm, black tears
Please be  gone so I can see clear
Keep calm and carry on
But inside, I'm dying
Outside, I'm crying black tears
[Verse 5]
Oh yeah, how did it all go wrong
We seemed to have it all
But now it's broken and I'm running
And I'm scared, so scared
So I pray to God above
'Cause it's a sin when we don't love
It's so quiet, can you hear me?
Are you there?
[Verse 6]
Oooh, black tears
One will fall for every good year
Rolling down my face
Inside, I'm dying
Outside, I'm crying, crying
Crying black tears
Ooh, ooh
