Lyrics

Tear Stained Face

I don't want to wash my tear stained face
I don't want to eat right or say grace no more
Been working overtime to sabotage my life
Since your leavin' aged me 10 years overnight

Now everybody thinks I'm over you
Six years on and I'm still sortin' through
By now it seems I should have come unstuck
But today I truly do not give a fuck

Tryin' hard to think of everything I have learned
But all I can come up with are the bridges that I've burned
When you took a match to all my heart's desires
I added alcohol to each and every fire

I haven't been myself in so long, I've forgotten
Surely I'm not the crone I've grown to be
All the time I've wasted blaming all my pain on you
It never came to mind that I had been set free

Tryin' hard to think of everything I have learned
But all I can come up with are the bridges that I've burned
When you took a match to all my heart's desires
I added alcohol to each and every fire
