Only Teardrops
Emmelie de ForestEmmelie said that as soon as she heard the song, she fell in love with it. "It has a melancholic feeling to it," she said, "and it is about war and peace, both in a relationship and in the world as a whole. I believe these are issues that people all over the world can relate to."
The sky is red tonight
We're on the edge tonight
No shooting star to guide us
Please tell me why
Why do we make it so hard?
Look at us now
We only got ourselves to blame
It's such a shame
How many times can we win and lose?
How many times can we break the rules?
Between us
Only teardrops
How many times do we have to fight?
How many times till we get it right?
Between us
Only teardrops
So come and face me now
Here on the stage tonight
Let's leave the past behind us
Eye for an eye
Why tear each other apart?
Please tell me why
Why do we make it so hard?
Look at us now
We only got ourselves to blame
It's such a shame
Tell me
How many times can we win and lose?
How many times can we break the rules?
Between us
Only teardrops
How many times do we have to fight?
How many times till we get it right?
Between us
Only teardrops
(Tell me now)
What's gone between us?
Has come between us?
Only teardrops, only teardrops
(Tell me now)
What's gone between us?
Has come between us? ... only teardrops
How many times can we win and lose?
How many times can we break the rules?
Between us
Only teardrops
How many times do we have to fight?
How many times till we get it right?
Between us
Only teardrops
Only teardrops
Oh... only teardrops
Only teardrops
How many times can we win and lose?
How many times can we break the rules?
Between us
Only teardrops
How many times do we have to fight?
How many times till we get it right?
Between us
Only teardrops
