Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry (Original Version)

All I can ever be to you Is the darkness we once knew And this deep regret I had to get accustomed to Once it felt so right Anticipation at its height Lived and waited in hotel rooms late at night I knew I hadn't met my match With every moment we could snatch I don't know why I let myself get so attached It's my responsibility And you don't owe nothing to me But to cut myself off I had no capacity He walks away The sun goes down He takes the day but I'm grown And in your grey In this cool shade My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own) I don't understand Why do I stress a man When there's so many better things than him at hand We could have never had it all We had to hit a wall And this is inevitable withdrawal Even if I stop wanting you A perspective pushes through I'll be some next man's other woman soon I cannot play myself again I should just be my own best friend Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men He walks away The sun goes down He takes the day, but I'm grown And in your grey In this cool shade My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own) Wish I could say no regrets And no emotional debt And as we kiss goodbye The sun behind you sets So we are history Your shadow covers me The sky above A blaze that only lovers see He walks away The sun goes down He takes the day, but I'm grown And in your grey In this cool shade My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own) He walks away The whole sun goes down He takes the day, but I'm grown Baby, in your grey In this cool shade My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own) Yeah, leave your grey to shade My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own) In your grey In this cool shade My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own) In your grey In this cool shade My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)

Amy, I love you now and forever.
