Branch, Michelle - I Want Tears Lyrics






How does saying nothin' at all become so loud?
When does the silence settle in?
Nothing's wrong but nothing's right
We hold our breath and close our eyes
Let's get out on that ice, it's wearin' thin

How did we get so low it don't even hurt?
Yeah, why are we so comfortably still?
Here we are pretending that we're doing fine
Just scratching at the surface, just gettin' by
Don't you think it's that time we feel something real?

I want tears, I want rain
If that's what leads me back to you
Even if that means feelin' the pain, that's what we gotta do
Let it fall apart, come on and break my heart
Yeah, break it right in two
'Cause I don't want to smile if that means losin' you
I want tears

The kind that you can't help and you can't hold back
The ones that are waitin', burstin' at the seams
Baby, can't we find the strength to just let go and make a change?
'Cause I need somethin' more to make me believe

I want tears, I want rain
If that's what leads me back to you
Even if that means feelin' the pain, that's what we gotta do
Let it fall apart, come on and break my heart
Yeah, break it right in two
'Cause I don't want to smile if that means losin' you

Remember what we use to have
Baby, don't you want it bad?
Baby, we can get it back

I want tears, I want rain
If that's what leads me back to you
Even if that means feelin' the pain, that's what we gotta do
Let it fall apart, come on and break my heart
Yeah, break it right in two
'Cause I don't want to smile if that means losin' you
I don't want to smile if that means losin' you
I want tears

How does saying nothing at all become so loud?

    This is beautiful.......what is wrong with the record company!!  this should have been released!!

    b.... ....

    Well, actually it was released on the 'Everything Comes And Goes' EP. You should go buy it and support Michelle...

  3. m.... m....

    Screw people who watch American Idol............... she rules over any of them!

  4. R.... P....

    3 dislikes now :P not from me but just pointing it out

  5. T.... ....

    This song is just amazing.

  6. Y.... T....

    i creamed ovr 'goodbye 2 U-played it relentlessly when life haps brot the song 2 my emotional landscape BUT this yung gal wit all her family money paving her way 4 nuttin but a flow of pop crap, frankly,has,officially, lost my interest. listen 2 her cover joni mitchell's 'case of u' & yull hear how ms branch wishes she could write.contrived little privileged so cal girl. do something edgy! swallow a goldfish.did joni thank you 4 the cover? view 1974 joni youtube of 'case of you' epic.ol' skool

  7. g.... a....

    I agree.

    @xXxdanii2k10xXx I think this gorgeous song is about a relationship that is full of "pretending that we are doing fine," rather than one based on authentic sharing of real, life-giving, TRUE feelings. Maybe to get to where things are real they have to break through each other's defenses and B.S., even if it means breaking down in a flood of tears. But that's preferable to the phony, dead bullshit that threatens to smother and kill them. Love has to based on what's REAL!

  9. C.... ....

    this song totally should have been a single accompanying "sooner or later"

  10. T.... W....

    @xXxdanii2k10xXx i think that the plot is ... she is heartbroken and willing to give up all the light and happyness in her life to be with who ever this is

  11. a.... m....

    Can somebody please tell me the plot of this song?

  12. a.... m....

    Check out hauntededsunshinegirl if you like or hate ghosts!

  13. a.... m....

    @1CrazyRide 2 now, crazy fuckerrrs:)

  14. x.... ....

    What the hell man. This album shoulda been finished and released. This is top 40 right here. Country and Pop.

  15. f.... ....

    Current favourite song. I got her cd the other day and I love it - anything michelle makes is phenomenal and gold - she is in a class of her own. I would LOVE to meet her some day!

  16. m.... ....

    Nah. She always touches my soul. Michelle Branch never fails. :">

  17. K.... G....

    i completely 100% relate to this song. A girl wants a guy to come and be with her but he only comes to her when she's at rock bottom. "I want tears, I want rain if that leads me back to you even if that means feelin the pain, then thats what we gotta do. 'Ready to fall apart, come on and break my heart. Yeah, break it right in two. 'Cause I dont wanna smile if that means losing you, I want tears"

    though its too bad the wreckers broke up

    This is exactly about how I feel about love, when your sad and heartbroken it makes you feel alive and real, it's strange that we all have a slight fetish for depression, whether we are to admit it or not.

  22. L.... C....

    This is just beautifull, this feel is one of a kind, when u see someone u love whit all ur heart and u know that her want's you so badly, but because some crazy and stupid fights we dont realize that just one Kiss could Fix the problem.......

  23. j.... c....

    beautifulllllllll
