Blue Rodeo Mascara Tears Lyrics

I thought love was the greatest gift
That I could give to you
But I found out you like a darker tune
There was nothing I could do to save you
'Cuz it's a curse, your sympathy and fate
You never hesitate to forgive
But this world, it just takes and takes
There's only so much you can bear
Before you break

I adore you
How you break the rules
All the things you do to keep it true
I adore you
With your paralyzing fears
Your mascara tears
Why so hard on yourself Now the sun is setting
And I must face the night
'Cuz now I know the darkness that you embrace
Everything that ever happened
Doesn't matter anymore
Doesn't matter where you're going
It just matters who you are

No one told you but you like that disconnect
Not knowing what comes next
Or what could have been
So we'll raise this glass
We won't talk about the why
We don't have to say goodbye
We'll just say until the next time
