Here come those tears again, now you'll tell me how to hold them in
Thinking I might just be strong enough after all
Some other time, baby, when I'm strong and I'm feeling fine maybe

But I don't know if I can open up enough to let you in

Even though you looked so sure as I was watching you walking out my door
Well, I don't know if I can open up and let you in, baby
Here come those tears, here come those tears again
Here come those tears, here come those tears again
And I'll be in the dark but you'll be out of sight

Here come those tears, here come those tears again
I'm going back inside and turning out those light
I can hear you telling me how you needed to be free
But you always walk back in like you did today

Now you're standing here telling me how you have grown
Baby, here we stand again where we've been so many times before
When I can look at you without crying, you might look like a friend of mine

When I hear your footsteps echoing in the hall
And you had some things to work out alone
Walk away
Here come those tears, here come those tears again
Acting like you never even went away
But I don't know if I can open up enough to let you in
