Lines taken from Tanya Tucker Down To My Last Teardrop
"Crying you a river that winds and winds and winds
Oh but baby I'm down to my last teardrop this time
Don't care who or what you're doing, gonna be no more boohooing
This time I swear it's the truth, aint gonna cry no more for you"
It's true this heart was broken, scattered upon the floor
Endless tears always falling since you walked out the door
Been constantly questioning all the what ifs and all the whys
Last few weeks spent doing absolutely nothing but silently cry
Poured out my entire heart to you, turns out it was all in vain
For those horrendous words you said caused unimaginable pain
Yes, I admit it's true that I still and will always love you so
But I'm done with drama and heartache, I'm finally letting go
These past weeks have been agony, know love really is blind
..."Crying you a river that winds and winds and winds"
Used to whisper words of love, how fast it turned to hate
All this time alone, nothing left to do except contemplate
Tried so desperately to fix it, but of course I'll never succeed
Have nothing left to give now, from you I must finally recede
Remember when things were different, euphoric in the past
How foolish of me to think those times would always last
Still everytime I think of you, well this heart it still ignites
No longer does it shine, but dying embers, that can't be right
Finally starting to accept never again will I call you mine
..."Oh but baby I'm down to my last teardrop this time"
Loved you more than life, would have done anything at all
But those few words you uttered were ones that made me fall
Sometimes wonder if we're salvageable, do you even have a clue?
Then I catch myself and quickly force myself not to think of you
When it gets to difficult, just remind myself of what you said
And before to long I'm back to despising you again instead
Telling people you've moved on, telling other's it's on your mind
Well I'm glad it's on your conscience 'cause you were to unkind
Starting all over again, getting ready for a new beginning
"Don't care who, what you're doing, gonna be no more boohooing"
Never wanted it to end this way, wanted us to remain friends
Both now said and done to much, we'll never make amends
So sad we trusted each other, something we shouldn't have done
'Cause seems that's the main thing that finally made us come undone
Ironic how trust is so hard to gain and yet so easy to break
Now there's to much history, to many disastrous mistakes
So I'm saying goodbye, even though it's killing me inside
Seems the love that's needed is what we just can't provide
So here's my final farewell, darling I'm bidding you adieu
"This time I swear it's the truth, aint gonna cry no more for you"
