Real Tears

Intro

[Instrumental

(Oh-oh-oh...)

Sometimes... silence is the loudest scream.

And you... you are completely deaf.

Verse 1

We sit across a table made of glass

Counting every second of our past

You look at me and smile, you think we're fine

(So fine...)

While all the stars are falling out of line

I trace the lines upon your resting hands

You're building castles out of shifting sands

I say I'm breaking, but you just won't hear

You wipe away a phantom, harmless tear

Hook

Ad-lib: Ay, amor...

Listen to the silence in the room!

We are walking blindly to our doom!

Chorus

These are real tears, falling down my face!

Running through this empty, frozen space!

You look right through me, you don't feel the pain

Standing in the middle of my hurricane!

Real tears! (¡De verdad!) Not just for the show!

I’m fighting for a love you let go!

(Oh-oh-oh, real tears...)

Verse 2

You talk about tomorrow like it's sure

As if our fading medicine can cure

The silence growing louder in your chest

You think my heavy heart is just at rest

I hold the pieces of what we used to be

While you're a million miles away from me

My vision's blurring, but your eyes stay dry

You kiss my cheek and casually goodbye

Bridge

Look at me... Please, just look at my face.

Are these drops just water to you?

No... they are burning me alive.

Ad-lib: ¡Despierta ya! / Wake up!

Chorus

These are real tears, falling down my face!

Running through this empty, frozen space!

You look right through me, you don't feel the pain

Standing in the middle of my hurricane!

Real tears! (¡De verdad!) Not just for the show!

I’m fighting for a love you let go!

Outro

Real tears...

I fought until my hands bled...

And you didn't even notice.

(Fade out...)
