Tears Dry on Their Own

I should just be my own best friend

Autor Redacció

Amy Winehouse va néixer el 14 de setembre de 1983 a Londres i hi va morir el 23 de juliol del 2011, amb només 27 anys. La recordem escoltant Tears dry on their own, que va publicar al seu segon i últim disc, Back to Black, una cançó amb lletra i melodia de la mateixa Winehouse i una base instrumental ben coneguda, la d'Ain't no mountain high enough, que van popularitzar Marvin Gaye i Tammi Terrell.


All I can ever be to you is the darkness we once knew
And this deep regret I had to get accustomed to
Once, it felt so right, anticipation at its height
Lived and waited in hotel rooms late at night

I knew I hadn't met my match, with every moment we could snatch
I don't know why I let myself get so attached
It's my responsibility, and you don't owe nothing to me
But to cut myself off I had no capacity

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your grey, in this cool shade
My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)

I don't understand, why do I stress a man
When there's so many better things than him at hand?
We could've never had it all, we had to hit a wall
And this is inevitable withdrawal

Even if I stop wanting you, and perspective pushes through
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
I cannot play myself again, I should just be my own best friend
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your grey, in this cool shade
My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)

Wish I could say "no regrets" and "no emotional debts"
And as we kiss goodbye, the sun behind you sets
So we are history, your shadow covers me
The sky above, a blaze that only lovers see

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your grey, in this cool shade
My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)

He walks away, the whole sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
Baby, in your grey, in this cool shade
My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)

Yeah, in your grey, in this shade
My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)
In your grey, in this cool shade
My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)
In your grey, in this cool shade
My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)


Una altra versió, Tears Dry, va ser inclosa al disc Lioness: Hidden Treasures, que es va publicar pòstumament el 2011.
