You're always on the verge of tears

YOU’RE ALWAYS ON THE VERGE OF TEARS (E A D G B E)

 

You’re always on the verge of tears whenever you come around here.

You’re pulling on the grass again. One day you will crack like an egg.

 

You’re always on the verge of tears. Been struggling at least a year.

I want to say it will get better now. But you’re the only one who knows how.

 

You’re always looking at your feet when you come over unannounced.

You scratch your legs and take a seat. And now you’re crying on the lounge.

 

You’re always on the verge of tears. You’ve heard all that I’ve got to say.

I can’t grant you absolution. I can’t give you what you’ve lost.

 

You’ll never get back what you’ve lost.

You’ll never get back what you’ve lost.
