You Can't Take Back a Teardrop (Album Version)

You Can't Take Back a Teardrop - Connie Smith

You came back tonight to take back the things that you said to me

As if your change of heart could really change a thing

You said you'd seen the light like that erases all the lonely nights

I've cried myself to sleep

But you can't take back a teardrop once it falls

And when you broke my heart you broke it once and for all

I wish you could make up for all the hurt you've caused

But you can't take back a teardrop once it falls

You'd like to start again just like the first time we fell in love

But we're no longer at that place we started from

And when you made me cry this time I felt the love inside me die

Now it's too late for us

But you can't take back a teardrop once it falls

And when you broke my heart you broke it once and for all

I wish you could make up for all the hurt you've caused

But you can't take back a teardrop once it falls

I wish you could make up for all the hurt you've caused

But you can't take back a teardrop once it falls
