If tears could bring you back

I've been talkin' to your picture every night

Tellin' you the things I wish I said in life

Your chair's still by the window, your boots still by the door

But I'm standin' here dyin', 'cause you're not here no more

If tears could bring you back, you'd be here tonight

I'd hold you in my arms 'til the morning light

I'm a broken man, I don't know how to live

If tears could bring you back, I'd give all I could give

Your laughter still echoes in these empty walls

But I can't outrun the silence when the darkness falls

If I had known that kiss would be the last I'd taste

I'd still be there kissin' you, never walkin' away

If tears could bring you back, you'd be here tonight

I'd hold you in my arms 'til the morning light

I'm a dead man walkin', I don't know how to survive

If tears could bring you back, you'd still be alive

But heaven don't bargain and angels don't trade

They called you home, and I can't make them stay

So I drink and I pray just to make it through

But I don't know how to live in a world without you

If tears could bring you back, I'd never sleep

I'd kiss you forever, that promise I'd keep

But no flood of sorrow can turn back time

So I'm just here dyin', 'til I lose my mind
