When you laughed so hard that night The joy just overflowed I looked at you and felt it rise More love than I could hold And when you walked back through that door After being gone so long I tried to say "I missed you" But the words came out all wrong They don't need a reason They don't ask me why They just know when you're the subject They're gonna fall from my eyes These tears know your name Happy, sad, they fall the same These tears know your name Joy and ache, they speak your name Whether I'm laughing or I'm grieving Whether you're here or far away These tears know your name They fall for you either way When you told me that you loved me And you meant it with your eyes Something in my chest gave way Caught me right off guard, surprised And sometimes late at night When I just miss your voice The tears come uninvited Like they never had a choice They don't care what triggered them Proud or broken through They just know one thing for certain Every drop belongs to you These tears know your name Happy, sad, they fall the same These tears know your name Joy and ache, they speak your name Whether I'm laughing or I'm grieving Whether you're here or far away These tears know your name They fall for you either way Some people think that tears mean pain But that's not always true Sometimes the love just overflows And the only way out is through So let them fall like rain Let them say what words can't do Every single drop's a love letter Hand delivered straight to you These tears know your name Happy, sad, they fall the same These tears know your name Joy and ache, they speak your name When I'm bursting with the pride When I'm missing you so bad When I'm grateful you're alive For every moment that we've had These tears know your name And they'll never be ashamed These tears know your name They love you just the same These tears know your name Every drop These tears know your name Never gonna stop They love you They love you
