Mascara Tears Songtext
von Blue Rodeo

I thought love was the greatest gift
That I could give to you
But I found out you like a darker turn
There was nothing I could do to save you

′Cause it's a curse
Your sympathy and faith
You never hesitate to forgive
But this world just takes and takes
There′s only so much you can bear
Before you break

I adore you
And how you break the rules
And all the things you do to keep it true
I adore you
With your paralyzing fears
And mascara tears
Why so hard on yourself?


'Cause now the sun is setting
And I must face the night
'Cause now I know the darkness
That you embrace

And everything that ever happened
Doesn′t matter anymore
Doesn′t matter where you're going
It just matters who you are

No one told you
But you like that disconnect
Not knowing what comes next
Or what could have been
So we′ll raise this glass
We won't talk about the why
We don′t have to say goodbye
We'll just say ′til the next time

'Cause I adore you
And how you break the rules
And all the things you do to make it true
I adore you
With your paralyzing fears
And mascara tears
Why so hard on yourself?
