Every Tear Has A Reason Why - Tim O'Brien

Every day is a long time waiting

Every night is alone and cryin'

Your memory is a long time fadin'

Every tear has a reason why, every tear has a reason why

Echos are fillin' the hallways, bringin' back those better times

The smell and the touch and the taste of you won’t leave my mind

You’re a ghost in the house we lived in, I can feel you everywhere

I know better than to hope that you still care

But I keep lookin' for you out there

You came in like the dawn of a new day, now the dark is settlin' in

I don’t know if I can find a life worth livin' again

In the night, in the still of the shadows, I can’t help but wonder why

I bought into a trouble that no one else would buy

And every tear has a reason why

I chased you until you caught me, caught me so unaware

Look at all the things you taught me about a dead end love affair
