Behind the tear there's a hurt behind the hurt a broken heart Behind that broken heart there lies a broken dream Behind the dream there's a fool behind the fool a wasted love You broke my heart and I'm the fool behind the tear Look here on my cheek there's a teardrop Oh not much bigger than a grain of sand Don't turn your head so close behind the teardrop You'll see the hurt you left inside a lonely man Behind the tear there's a hurt... (Broken heart broken dreams behind the tear)
