Amy Winehouse - tears dry

노래는 사랑의 상처와 후회를 이야기하며, 과거의 관계에서 느낀 불안과 애착을 회상한다
결국 자신에게 집중해야 하며, 더 이상 상처받지 않기 위해 자아를 돌아보려는 다짐이 느껴진다
사랑의 비극 뒤에 있는 자기 회복의 중요성을 강조한다

All I can ever be to you is the darkness we once knew
And this deep regret I had to get accustomed to
Once it felt so right, anticipation at its height
Lived and waited in hotel rooms late at night
I knew I hadn't met my match
With every moment we could snatch
I don't know why I let myself get so attached
It's my responsibility
And you don't owe nothing to me
But to cut myself off, I had no capacity
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I am grown
And in your grey, in this cool shade
My tears dry on their own (Tears dry on their own)
I don't understand, why do I stress the man?
When there's so many bigger things than him at hand
We could've never had it all
We had to hit a wall
And this is inevitable withdrawal
Even if I stop wanting you and perspective pushes through
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
I cannot play myself again
I should just be my own best friend
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men
