[Intro]
Blood and tears
Blood and tears
Since you've been gone
I hear you've been crying
Blood and tears
[Verse 1]
All alone in your misery
So alone
Could you have been deceived
Since I've been gone
I hear you been crying
[Chorus]
You cry a thousand tears
Darling don't despair
I know your heart still bleeds
Darling don't you care
There's blood in your tears
[Verse 2]
All alone in your misery
So all alone
You are lost, endlessly
Since you've been gone
I hear you been crying
[Chorus]
You cry a thousand tears
Darling don't despair
I know your heart still bleeds
Darling don't you care
You cry a thousand tears
Darling don't despair
I know your heart still bleeds
Darling don't you care
There's blood in your tears
[Guitar Solo: John Christ]
[Chorus]
Yeah, you cry a thousand tears
Darling don't despair
I know your heart still bleeds
Darling don't you care
Yeah, you cry a thousand tears
Darling don't despair
I know your heart still bleeds
Darling don't you care
[Outro]
There's blood in your tears
There's blood in your tears
Blood and tears
Blood and tears
Blood and tears
