"Tears Dry on Their Own" by Amy Winehouse

Written in Miami with producer Salaam Remi, “Tears Dry On Their Own” has grown to become one of the most recognisable songs in Winehouse’s discography. During an undated interview with BBC, Winehouse described the song as:

"I was with someone that I couldn’t really be with and I knew it wouldn’t last. But I think because I knew it couldn’t last, it’s kinda like saying, “I’m upset, but I know I’ll get over it, I guess.”



[Verse 1]
All I can ever be to you is the darkness that we knew
And this regret I've got accustomed to
Once it was so right, when we were at our height
Waiting for you in the hotel at night
I knew I hadn't met my match
But every moment we could snatch
I don't know why I got so attached
It's my responsibility
And you don't owe nothing to me
But to walk away, I have no capacity

[Chorus]
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown (I'm grown)
And in your way, in this blue shade

My tears dry on their own 

[Verse 2]
I don't understand, why do I stress the man?
When there's so many bigger things at hand
We could've never had it all
We had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal
Even if I stop wanting you and perspective pushes through
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
I cannot play myself again
I should just be my own best friend
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

[Chorus]
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown (I'm grown)
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

[Bridge]
So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze

[Chorus]
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown☺
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

[Verse 3]
I wish I could say no regrets
And no emotional debts
'Cause as we kiss goodbye, the sun sets
So we are history, the shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze that only lovers see

[Chorus]
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown (I'm grown)
And in your way, my blue shade
My tears dry on their own
Woah, he walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I am grown
And in your way, my deep shade
My tears dry on their own, woah

Keep Listening

An upbeat, lively single, “Alive with The Glory Of Love” was written about singer Max Bemis' grandparents, who were Holocaust survivors.Bemis' Jewish upbringing factors into many of Say Anything’s songs (“Wow I Can Get Sexual, Too”, “Hebrews”, etc.) LYRICS [Verse 1] When I watch you, wanna do you Right where you're standing (Yeah) Right on the foyer, on this dark day Right in plain view (Oh, yeah) Of the whole ghetto The boots stomp meadows But we ignore that (Yeah) You're lovely, baby This war is crazy I won't let you down Oh, no, no [Chorus] No I won't let them take you, won't let them take you Hell no, no, oh no I won't let them take you, won't let them take you Hell no, no [Post-Chorus] No Oh, no no no!

"Space Cowboy" by Kacey Musgraves

Image
Kacey seems to be saying that she is okay with her significant other leaving for some time. She recognizes the fact that they had their good times together, but it is time to move on because it is the best for the both of them. He is claiming he needs space, and she is willing to give it to him because their love has faded. LYRICS OF Space Cowboy [Verse 1] You look out the window while I look at you Saying I don't know would be like saying that the sky ain't blue And boots weren't made for sitting by the door Since you don't wanna stay anymore [Chorus] You can have your space, cowboy I ain't gonna fence you in Go on, ride away in your Silverado Guess I'll see you 'round again I know my place, and it ain't with you Well sunsets fade, and love does, too Yeah, we had our day in the sun When a horse wants to run, there ain't no sense in closing the gate You can have your space, cowboy [Verse 2] After the gold rush, there ain't no reason to stay Shoul...

Feel these Saddest Purest Love Songs of All Time

Image
We as a whole partake in a celebratory and, might we venture to say it, marginally sappy love melody that revels in the excellence of human association. However, now and again the track that truly hits home is more solemn. A portion of the miserable love tunes in this assortment have the ability to make you cry, and may try and assist you with repairing a wrecked heart after a separation. A small bunch of '90s works of art (Whitney Houston's "I Will Continuously Cherish You," Toni Braxton's "Un-Make Me extremely upset") and R&B; hits are on the rundown, as are better numbers that would be at home on a Valentine's Day playlist assuming you're spending the occasion solo . Many filter through the rubble of past connections (Drake's "Marvin's Room," Lauryn Slope's "Ex-Element"), while others are about the transitory alleviation of association, regardless of whether you know it's not with the perfect individual...
