Sonny James – Behind the Tear Lyrics
Behind the tear there’s a hurt behind the hurt a broken heart
Behind that broken heart there lies a broken dream
Behind the dream there’s a fool behind the fool a wasted love
You broke my heart and I’m the fool behind the tear
Look here on my cheek there’s a teardrop
Oh not much bigger than a grain of sand
Don’t turn your head so close behind the teardrop
You’ll see the hurt you left inside a lonely man
Behind the tear there’s a hurt…
(Broken heart broken dreams behind the tear)
GENIUS
