Stubborn Salty Tears Lyrics

Let me apologize
For the tears in my eyes

It's not your fault, you see
You couldn't stay with me


Years now have come and gone
And still I write these songs

It helps me not to cry so much
But oh, how I crave your touch

And I'm still asking why
You had to die

Stubborn salty tears

Let me apologize
I didn't realize


Have I been hurting you
It's not what I meant to do

God, give me the might
To help me fight
These stubborn salty tears

And I'll stop asking why
You had to die

Stubborn salty tears

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
