No Tears In The River

by David SweetLow

/

about

"No Tears in the River" is a powerful ballad about the struggles of dealing with a toxic relationship. The lyrics detail observations of the other person's behaviour, including their tendency to hurt others and themselves, and their inability to let go of past mistakes. The repeated refrain of "there's no tears in this river's run dry" serves as a metaphor for the emotional distance and detachment that has grown between the two people. The lyrics define the ultimate choice to move on and find strength in being alone, rather than continuing to be dragged down by the toxic relationship. This song is a strong statement of self-empowerment, and a call to anyone who is struggling in a similar situation.

lyrics

I’ve known all your colours
But never seen the light
I’ve met all your lovers
They told me all your lies

You’re only doing damage
To no-one but yourself
You think you’re getting better
But really you need help

There’s no tears in
No tears in
No tears in the river
There’s no tears in
No tears in
This river’s run dry

You can’t hide the photos
I see them on your wall
You can’t hide those memories
Still I do recall

There’s no tears in
No tears in
No tears in the river
There’s no tears in
No tears in
This river’s run dry

I’ll be on my own
I’m stronger alone
I’ll be on my own
This river’s run dry
No tears in the river

You think you’re un-expected
You won’t catch me off my guard
You can keep pretending
While adding to your scars

There’s no tears in
No tears in
No tears in the river
There’s no tears in
No tears in
This river’s run dry
There’s no tears in
No tears in
No tears in the river
There’s no tears in
No tears in
This river’s run dry

This river’s run dry
This river’s run dry
