I just wanna know how he got there lying on the kitchen floor
A kamikaze outburst of emotions synchronize
I remember how he cried
Punch a couple holes in the dry wall
Exchanging heat for nothing
It's all for nothing
Walking towards the door where are you going?
When will I see you again?
What just happened?
As he's driving far away
Her crying couldn't make him stay
'Cause her tears are not clean
And she knows this is something we shouldn't have seen
And she promised she'd find a better man
And she didn't expect us to understand
Why her tears are not clean, anymore
Picking up the pieces in his single bedroom apartment
Cooking up some scrambled eggs in the kitchen
Forgetting her last goodbye
There is a compromise
In a situation where all the holes in the frame
Have been patched up to cover the sounds of a father
Trying to stay close for us but he's becoming a stranger
Forever a stranger
As he's driving far away
Her crying couldn't make him stay
'Cause her tears are not clean
And she knows this is something we shouldn't have seen
And I know he wasn't a perfect man
And she didn't expect us to understand
Why her tears are not clean, anymore
Their wounds have healed and time has passed
The years have shown that love never lasts
'Cause her bond had died with her fidelity
I learned that neither is the enemy
'Cause her tears are not clean
And she knows this is something we shouldn't have seen
And she promised she'd find a better man
And she didn't expect us to understand
Why her tears are not clean, anymore
