tears on tour - arab strap lyrics

[verse 1]
i cried the day my grandfather no longer knew my face
i wept by the window when he died
and when my mother called long distance
to say her mother passed away
i blubbered on the bus, i couldn’t hide
i’ve cried at many broken hearts
i’ve sobbed in countless drinks
over girls with faces i barely now recall
i balled in a ball on the kitchen floor
when living was too much
pick a room, i’ve wept in them all

[chorus]
but i can’t tell you why
tonight my eyеs are dry

[verse 2]
i always cry at musicals
when loving dreams arе sung
i’ve stained many books, their stories false and true
i cry at rom*coms, dramedies
the news and children’s films
the muppet movie, frozen, frozen 2

[chorus]
but i can’t tell you why
tonight my eyes are dry
[bridge]
what would you call the opposite of a comedian?
whatever it is, that’s what i wanted to be
i dreamed of touring the country
playing small gigs in intimate venues
sitting on stage in a leather wingback armchair
and telling tales of woe
the audience would join me in a long collective cry
we would all weep together as one
i even planned the merchandise
a hundred percent cotton souvenir handkerchiefs
embroidered with tour dates
available in the foyer after the show

[outro]
i’m waiting for the waterworks to come
but i don’t feel a thing, i’m just exhausted and numb
i need some release, i need to make it all real
a lacrimal niagra, a dramatic reveal
