Tears Dry on Their Own (Acoustic)
[Intro]
One, two, three...

[Verse 1: Dua Lipa + Gallant]
All I can ever be to you is the darkness that we knew
And this regret I've got accustomed to
Once it was so right
We were at our high
Waiting for you in the hotel at night
And knew I hadn't met my match
But every moment we could snatch
I don't know why I got so attached
It's my responsibility
And you don't owe nothing to me but to walk away
I have no capacity

[Chorus 1: Dua Lipa + Gallant]
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

[Verse 2: Dua Lipa + Gallant]
I don't understand
Why do I stress the man when there's so many bigger things at hand?
We coulda never had it all
We had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal
Even if I stop wanting you
A 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
[Chorus 2: Gallant + Dua Lipa]
She walks away, the sun goes down
She takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

[Bridge: Gallant + Dua Lipa + Both]
So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above, a blaze

[Verse 3: Dua Lipa + Gallant]
I could say no regrets
And no emotional debts
'Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets
So we are history
The shadow covers me
The sky above, a blaze only lovers see

[Chorus 1: Dua Lipa + Gallant]
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

[Chorus 3: Dua Lipa + Gallant + Both]
He walks away, the sun goes down
She takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, and my deep shade
My tears dry on their own, babe
My tears dry on their own
