Let me apologize
For the tears in my eyes
It's not your fault, you see
You couldn't stay with me
Years now have come and gone
And still I write these songs
It helps me not to cry so much
But oh, how I crave your touch
And I'm still asking why
You had to die
Stubborn salty tears
Let me apologize
I didn't realize
Have I been hurting you
It's not what I meant to do
God, give me the might
To help me fight
These stubborn salty tears
And I'll stop asking why
You had to die
Stubborn salty tears
For the tears in my eyes
It's not your fault, you see
You couldn't stay with me
Years now have come and gone
And still I write these songs
It helps me not to cry so much
But oh, how I crave your touch
And I'm still asking why
You had to die
Stubborn salty tears
Let me apologize
I didn't realize
Have I been hurting you
It's not what I meant to do
God, give me the might
To help me fight
These stubborn salty tears
And I'll stop asking why
You had to die
Stubborn salty tears
