Lyrics

The sky is red tonight

We're on the edge tonight

No shooting star to guide us

Eye for an eye, why tear each other apart?

Please tell me why, why do we make it so?

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

(Tell me now) What's gone between us has come between us

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

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
