Artificial Tears | Miss Melodrama | Rich Boy Now | This Good Thing
I'm crying artificial
tears
For you, I can't deny it
I'm crying artificial tears
But baby you just don't buy it
It's been this way for years
Just cryin' to keep you from leaving
It's only artificial tears
For you that I am grieving
What do you want me to say
That hasn't been said
Before when I cried and cared too much for you
Now your time is through
I'm crying artificial tears
Cause nothing is ever lost
Can't dry these artificial tears
Each time my heart pays the cost
Oh baby how did it get here
And where did it come from?
Is it from the sins I have or the sins I haven't done?
And still when we speak
This wall is still standing
Is it for the love we had or the love that's come undone?
And I cry artificial tears
Not sad nor feeling the strain
I'm crying artificial tears
In spite of all things that remain
Can't taste the pain again for years
I try and I fail and I end
And so these artificial tears
Become the last link to you, friend
You must be sincere
Can't let go of your world when its ending
Quit faking that you were pretending
Miss Melodrama
You must stand the pain
When Icy tears appear again
Even hope you'll entertain
Miss melodrama
I can't keep up with the disguise you wear
Three different people in one smile
Your public acts make deep the cross you bear
so stop acting for awhile
You must be sincere
When your breakdowns become somewhat famous
TV movie turn off can you blame us
Miss Melodrama
You must stand the pain
Don't make storms of every rain
Sometimes life is just a game
Miss Melodrama
What shade of life are you with curtains drawn?
How do you act in your own scene?
Do you repress the truths you thought you've lost
And exist trapped in between?
You must be sincere
Can't let go of your world when its ending
Quit faking that you were pretending
Miss Melodrama
You must stand the pain
When heartbreak brings heartache again
From dramatics you must refrain
Miss Melodrama
I remember a time
When your money didn't mean a thing
We spent our time looking through
Second hand diamond rings
But as our wedding day had come along
There's a change up in your mind
And all your friends are telling all my friends
That a richer man you'd find
CHORUS
Thank you for leaving me
I'm a rich boy now
Bless you for deceiving me
I'm a rich boy now
I knew a change was coming on
When you ridiculed my job
You even asked to sell the songs I wrote for you
I found that very odd
More and more you walked straight to my door
Wearing some new fancy dress
And all the while your doctored smile
Was just see through guiltiness
CHORUS
But when we made love
I could always reach your soul
I heard it cry out
Where did she go? Oh oh
So now you got your diamond ring
And a love worth less than gold
And you don't have to do a thing
Or so I've been told
Cause we lost touch some time ago
When you tried to break my heart
But I found another before you
Decided we should part
But when we made love
I could always reach your soul
I heard it cry out
Where did she go? Oh oh
CHORUS
I don't want to push
you away
But I feel
Yes I feel it
I really do
Afraid my words will lead you astray
But I feel it
Yes I feel it
I really do
If patience is the solution
Then I'll wait a year and a day
I've drawn some early conclusions
Some things that are to risky to say
So let the sun shine
And the shadows fall so low
I don't want to mess up this good thing
I don't want to tell
you the truth
But I feel it
Yes I feel it
I really do
Afraid to say I'm falling in love with you
But I feel it
Yes I feel it
I really do
It pains me when you're down so low
And you can do nothing but cry
With this my heart beats like it's bound to explode
I reach for you but you deny
So let the time pass
Let every moment last
I don't want to mess up this good thing
