(Just hang around my tears are overdue) If you want to see somebody cry their heart out For a love they lost and must live without If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you Just hang around my tears are overdue If you want to hear confessions from a broken man Who once held a world of love right in his hands If you wanna see a heartbreak right in two in front of you Just hang around my tears are overdue Now there's not a way that I can say how much it really hurts When a broken heart and guilty conscience starts to work I hope you won't forget the sight you see today Just remember love I had then threw away If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you Just hang around my tears are overdue just hang around my tears are overdue
