Goapele - Tears On My Pillow lyrics

I think I finally understand How you could love someone and leave them It must be hard to be a man Holding back so many feelings I saw you slip away Long before you gave reasons Couldn't hold you down if you wanted to go Each time I try My tears land straight on my pillow Each time I try My tears land straight on my pillow Each time I try My tears land straight on my pillow 'Cause there's no other way For me to let go I didn't wanna even care I didn't wanna even miss you 'Cause you told me, you'd be there Now should I even try to reach you? I look in the mirror I see your face in mine And it's much clearer now I need you in my life But, each time I try My tears land straight on that pillow Each time I try My tears land straight on that pillow Each time I try My tears land straight on that pillow 'Cause there's no other way For me to let go I see it in your eyes, your laugh is a disguise It used to be magic to me, you're giving me no choice I hear it in your voice and it's so sad to me But I think forgiveness is the season Wish you could stay I have my reasons I'm still trying to hold on to something that's gone Can't make you stay here with me Oh, but each time I try It's like I'm crying in vain Each time I try My tears land straight on that pillow Each time I try My tears land straight on that pillow 'Cause there's no other way For me to let go Each time I try My tears land straight on that pillow Each time I try My tears land straight on that pillow Each time I try My tears land straight on that pillow 'Cause there's no other way For me to let go
