[English]

These tears mean

I'm letting you go

I'm learning

How to be alone

I'm broken

But give it time

I'm gon' be alright

These tears mean

It's settling in

That I'm not

Gon' see you again

'Till one day

In another life

But I'm gonna be al'

I'm gonna be alright

I'll be missing you tonight

I'll be missing you tomorrow

It's the hardest pill to swallow

But I'm starting to get it down

I try to think of all the times

I thought I wouldn't make it through

But somehow I always do

And I'll do the same for you

These tears mean

I'm letting you go

I'm learning

How to be alone

I'm broken

But give it time

I'm gon' be alright

These tears mean

It's settling in

That I'm not

Gon' see you again

'Till one day

In another life

But I'm gonna be al'

I'm gonna be alright

I see you everywhere

On the sidewalks of my dreams

Like a distant melody

I hear you calling and calling to me

And I love you

But I leave you

In the past baby

Because I need to

To not go insane

I know I love you the same

It don't mean I'm good, we could bye bye bye

But it ain't all that bad when I cry cry cry

These tears mean

I'm letting you go

I'm learning

How to be alone

I'm broken

But give it time

I'm gon' be alright

These tears mean

It's settling in

That I'm not

Gon' see you again

'Till one day

In another life

But I'm gonna be al'

I'm gonna be alright
