I don't want to see you cry
  Your crying always changes my mind
  And we know well
  It's livin' hell
  Pretending our love hasn't died
  Though we tried
  
  Before the tears, I'm leaving
  Should've left a long time ago
  'Cause it's clear we stopped believing anymore
  And I'm so tired and empty
  Since I found we've lost it all
  And I'm leaving before the tears start to fall
  
  Ooh I'm leaving before the tears start to fall
  
  Sad to say
  I'm on my way
  And your heart will be breaking at dawn
  I'll be gone
  
  Before the tears, I'm leaving
  Should've left a long time ago
  'Cause it's clear we stopped believing anymore
  And I'm so tired and empty
  Since I found we've lost it all
  And I'm leaving before the tears start to fall
  
  Before the tears, I'm leaving
  Should've left a long time ago
  'Cause it's clear we stopped believing anymore
  And I'm so tired and empty
  Since I found we've lost it all
  And I'm leaving before the tears start to fall
