VERSE 1:
I feel I’m obliged to play the role of a pillar for you to lean on
I’m holding up the wait because it's my job to be strong
And all along, I push my problems to the side to be humble
Can’t bare the thoughts of you seeing me crumble
So I smile through my pain and say I’m ok
'Cause even though this hurts me it's just my instinct to put you first be
A man, I never show my weakness even though I should
I shrug my shoulders off and walk away like it's all good
'Cause this way you worry less, instead of me sharing the burden
I guess I’d rather stand and take it all on my chest
I figure that your happiness is what counts
I deal with your pain then swallow mine and keep it secret til I get home to my house
Where no one has to witness as I break apart
Shut myself away in the dark the only place I can start
To be a human, I take a deep breath and as I sigh
I drop my guards down and cry my heart dry

CHORUS:
Teary eyes, fall down and cry
Teary eyes, woh,woh, wo-oh
Teary eyes, fall down and cry
Teary eyes, teary, dreary, weary,
Teary eyes

VERSE 2:
I carry confessions for which I’m yet to find the courage to make
Because I know just how easily our hearts can break
And it's my loved ones affected by my reckless behavior
I’ve danced with the devil but now I’m screaming for a savior
It’s too late to turn around and remedy my choices
I’ve got burnt and learnt and now I replay the voices
They warned me, and their wise words have come haunt me
I close my eyes to sleep the same faces appear and taunt me
I wallow in regret and accept that this is what it takes
To make amends and repay the debt for my mistakes
And as my tears slowly replace those of all you I caused grief
I hope within my sorrow you can find relief
And now feed me whiskey to help me go to pieces
Then hug me, and kiss me tell me I have forgiveness
In full confession, I’m trying to stay calm
I drop my head into my bro's arms I meant nobody no harm

CHORUS:
Teary eyes, fall down and cry
Teary eyes, woh,woh, wo-oh
Teary eyes, fall down and cry
Teary eyes, teary, dreary, weary,
Teary eyes

VERSE 3:
Sometimes the only way to conquer your problems
Is to be tough enough to open up and let your heart soak it up
I lay back and learn from the grief just let it cruise through my system
Emptiness confides in the mist and
I celebrate the pain, revel in the hardship
Whatever the weather we must participate regardless
We never fight the pleasure, so welcome the sorrow
I might be down hard tonight but I’ll be up again tomorrow

CHORUS:
Teary eyes, fall down and cry
Teary eyes, woh,woh, wo-oh
Teary eyes, fall down and cry
Teary eyes, teary, dreary, weary,
Teary eyes
