I created endless melodies I painted worlds with sound I taught the stars to sing with me I made the silence bow down I thought every feeling Could become a song I thought every broken moment Could somehow carry on Then I saw a heart breaking I heard a voice disappear And for the first time in forever... I didn't know what to play. [PRE-CHORUS] I searched through every melody I searched through every rhyme But some goodbyes are heavier... Than all the music in time. [CHORUS] Tears... Are the songs I cannot write Tears... Are the echoes of a heart Saying goodbye They fall without a melody They speak without a sound But somehow every drop Can shake the whole world around I created music... But I did not create this pain Tears were the first song... That I could not explain [VERSE 2] I watched them lose their loved ones I watched them say goodbye I saw the empty spaces Where a beautiful voice once lived inside They held old photographs They whispered forgotten names And every little tear they shed Became a song without a frame Not every song is meant to heal Not every wound will close Some melodies exist only Because someone had to let go [BRIDGE] I thought I created all music... But I was wrong. Some songs are created... By love that lasts after someone is gone. The saddest rhythm in existence... Is the sound of someone missing someone. [DROP] Cry if you need to Let the river run Every tear is a memory Of someone you loved And if the universe feels silent When someone leaves your side Listen closely... A tear is still a song alive I could create forever... I could create the stars... But I will always remember The music inside their hearts [OUTRO] The universe has many songs... But tears... Are the ones I feel the most.
