Tears by Perrie lyrics
I don't even care anymore
You can keep the pain of it all
I know I'm never getting back all my tears from you
I ain't mad that you made 'em fall
You can keep the weight of it all
I know I'm never getting back all my tears from you
Ooh
I haven't thought about you once in months
It's starting to feel like you were nothing but a bad dream (bad dream, ah)
Ooh
I finally get to see how good I look
With no clouds in my eyes
And I've gotta say, I'm tempting (tempting)
Oh, said you're sorry now
You should've been sorry then
But you'll never see me cry again
I don't even care anymore
You can keep the pain of it all
I know I'm never getting back all my tears from you
I ain't mad that you made 'em fall
You can keep the weight of it all
I know I'm never getting back all my tears from you
Oh, I don't, I don't, I don't want him back
That's all, that's all that I'll let you have
Hold on to them 'cause that was the last
Of all my tears from you
You can spill them on the floor, they're yours
So do what you want, babe
I've been better off without them
'Cause I like me more now than I did back then
Just removed you from the situation
You'll never see me cry again
I don't even care anymore
You can keep the pain of it all (All, ooh, all that)
I know I'm never getting back all my tears from you
I ain't mad that you made 'em fall (You made 'em fall)
You can keep the weight of it all (You can keep it)
I know I'm never getting back all my tears from you (Never getting back all my tears from you)
Oh, I don't, I don't, I don't want him back
That's all, that's all that I'll let you have
Hold on to them 'cause that was the last (Do-do, do-do)
Of all my tears from you
Oh, I don't, I don't, I don't want him back (My tears from you)
That's all, that's all that I'll let you have (My tears from you)
Hold on to them 'cause that was the last (My tears from you)
Of all my tears from you
