I can't figure you out But a heart must be the one thing you were born without I've been wasting my time I don't know where I'll sleep tonight You say that you can do without me Go ahead now try and live without me Baby save up all your tears You might need them someday When the tears start to fall I won't wipe them away When you cry in the night For the love that you need Baby, save up your tears 'Cause you'll be crying over me (Oh oh) You got used to my touch I got used to not, not feeling much Winter set in your eyes Time will melt your castle of ice You think that you won't feel the pain now Your eyes will be crying like the rain now Baby save up all your tears You might need them someday When the tears start to fall I won't wipe them away When you cry in the night For the love that you need Baby, save up your tears 'Cause you'll be crying over me You'll be crying You'll be crying over me You don't know it now You don't know it now You don't know it now You don't know it now You don't know it now But some wounds get deeper with time You don't feel it now Till the need burns, a knife turns Your heart bleeds like mine Baby save up all your tears You might need them someday When the tears start to fall I won't wipe them away When you cry in the night For the love that you need Baby, save up your tears 'Cause you'll be crying over me
