Artificial Tears - The Stingers
Written by:Jonathan Meyers
Crying artificial tears
For you I can't deny it
I'm crying artificial tears
But baby you just don't buy it
It's been this way for years
Just cryin' to keep you from leaving
It's only artificial tears
For you that I am grieving
Ohh what do you want me to say
That hasn't been said
Before when we cried and cared
Too much for you
Ohh no your time is through
It's only artificial tears
'Cause nothing is ever lost
Can't dry these artificial tears
Each time my heart pays the cost
Oh baby how did it get here
And where did it come from
Is it from the sins
I have or the sins I haven't done
And still when we speak
This wall just standing
Is it for the love
We had or the love that's come undone
I cry artificial tears
Not sad nor feeling the strain
I'm crying artificial tears
Inspite of all things that remain
Can't taste the pain again for years
I try and I fail and I end
And so these artificial tears
Become the last link to you friend
