Eternal - How Many Tears Lyrics lyrics

I see myself when I look in your eyes

And all of the sadness you're keeping inside

Oh baby can't you see

If anyone knows, if anyone knows it's me

So many years I tried to pretend

That I would live on in silence my friend

Then something changed in me

Funny how love, it's funny how love sets you free

Don't run away

From my love it could save you

If only you'll stay

How many tears will you cry in the dark

'Till you let me close to your heart

Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart

Let me get close to your heart

"What can I do?" I hear you say

Feels like I'm frozen or driftin' away

Can my love unlock the door?

And you won't be lonely, you won't be lonely no more

Hold me, hold me tight and don't let go

There's just one thing that you got to know

And that is love it holds the key, baby

So why don't take it, why don't you take it from me

Don't run away

From my love it could save you

If only you'll stay

How many tears will you cry in the dark

'Till you let me close to your heart

Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart

Let me get close to your heart

How many tears will you cry in the dark

'Till you let me close to your heart

Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart

Let me get close to your heart

Oh you just can't keep me away

Not another day, baby

You gotta open up and let me in

Don't try to run away 'coz I got so much to say

I could love you if you'd let me get close to your heart

How many tears will you cry in the dark

'Till you let me close to your heart

Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart

Let me get close to your heart

[repeat chorus to fade]
