Lyrics - Only teardrops - Emmelie de Forest
The sky is red tonight
We’re on the edge tonight
No shooting star to guide us
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?
I look at us now, we only got ourselves to blame
It’s such a shame
Please tell me why, why do we make it so?
I 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 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
How many times till we get it right between us?
Only teardrops
So come and face me now
Here on this stage tonight
Let’s leave the past behind us
Here on this 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?
I look at us now, we only got ourselves to blame
It’s such a shame
Please tell me why, why do we make it so?
I 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 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
How many times till we get it right between us?
Only teardrops
(Tell me now) What’s come between us? What’s come between us?
Only teardrops
Only teardrops
(Tell me now) What’s come between us? What’s 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 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
How many times till we get it right between us?
Only teardrops, 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 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
How many times till we get it right between us?
Only teardrops
