You said you don’t believe me
It’s too easy for me to sing about love
You said I could say that to anyone
You can’t tell who I’m thinking of

You don’t believe in that kind of heart
How can anyone make things up?
You have to feel it before you say it
How can you drink from an empty cup

But my tears are real
How can I prove it to be true?
I know how love feels
And what's real is my love for you

You pushed me away
You didn’t want to wait
You thought I just wrote stories
I tried to show you but now it’s too late

My tears are real baby
How can I prove it to be true?
I know how love feels
And what’s real is my love for you

I cried when you left
But you couldn’t see what I never wrote

My tears were real
I never could prove how it was true
I remember how love feels baby
And it was how I felt about you
