From the recording Margaritas and Tears

Lyrics

Heartache breaks open at dawn
When you wake and he’s still really gone
And each hour you struggle the more
To find what drove him away
 
But he was no good for you dear
You were kind, he was cavalier
Face the truth, you were just his next score
He never intended to stay
 
Now you need some help to start a new direction
But before the healing grief must have its say
 
Love disappears, love disappears
Love fades away, drowned in margaritas and tears
 
Don’t think of the time that you’ve lost
How spring faded to love’s first frost
Friends tell you they’ve been there before
But you’re still frozen within
 
But the drink’s finally taking its hold
And the sting of the lime it makes you feel bold
It wasn’t love, just a little war
And you promise you won’t let him win
 
With dizzy eyes you look out for the next one
To come and take your bruised heart for a spin
 
Love disappears, love disappears
Love fades away, drowned in margaritas and tears
 
Now soon again you’ll dream about perfection
A lover who will comfort and erase
But you can’t avoid the risk to find connection
So now you climb into another a new embrace
 
Love disappears, love disappears
Love fades away, drowned in margaritas and tears
