You advised me how to get by
You said forget – but how can I?
Can my lungs forget to breathe?
Can my heart forget to beat?
Can I forget my love for you?
You said forget – but how can I?
Tell me how and I will try
I’ll try – but I know I won’t survive.

Tears of blood
Cried by my broken heart
Tears of blood
Flowed when you tore it apart
Tears of blood
Colour red each lonely night
Tears of blood
Mean the end is in sight.

I can’t stop loving you
Though you know how hard I try
I can’t help remembering you
Though each time I break down and cry:
From the moment you went away
I lost every meaning to my life
A gash opened up on that day
I’ll heal the wound with a knife.

Tears of blood
Cried by my broken heart
Tears of blood
Flowed when you tore it apart
Tears of blood
Colour red each lonely night
Tears of blood
Mean the end is in sight.

Don’t ask why if I start to cry
– I was planning to ask you to be my wife –
If ever you see me just walk on by
You’re no longer in the plans of my life;
Blood of my heart, don’t delay, flow away
I’ll set you free with a knife
Blood of my heart, don’t stay, flow away
Flow out of my life.

Tears of blood
Cried by my broken heart
Tears of blood
Flowed when you tore it apart
Tears of blood
Colour red each lonely night
Tears of blood
Mean the end is in sight.

Though my heart’s been broken
And my smile is just a token
I don’t want you feeling guilty
Over the pain you’re causing me;
Please don’t think that I’ll die
Because of a single word – goodbye
I’m not a man who easily cries
It’s just chilli-pepper in my eyes.

Wounds heal … and the pain eases
In time I’ll pick up the pieces
Though the thread of my life has been snapped
Though I tripped the wire and am now trapped;
The floodgates opened when you said you had to go
Eve though, for now, I smile and put on a show
Still my tears fall like rain from the skies
It’s just chilli-pepper in my eyes.

My heart didn’t stand a chance
From the moment we met
Your eyes first glance …
Now you ask me to forget;
Our hearts touched and beat together
Our bodies entwined and melted into each other
I was cast adrift when you cut the ties
You threw chilli-pepper in my eyes.

Spare me a tender thought now and again
When you’re happy – think of me then
Think of me but don’t blame yourself
I swear you haven’t left me on the shelf;
You’re all I had, your memory is all I’ve got
It’s not – No! No! It’s not that, it’s not
My broken heart releasing pain through my eyes
It’s just chilli-pepper in my eyes.

The floodgates opened when you said you had to go
Even though, for now, I smile and put on a show
Still my tears fall like rain from the skies
It’s just chilli-pepper in my eyes;
Please don’t think that I’ll die
Because of a single word – goodbye
I’m not a man who easily cries
It’s just chilli-pepper in my eyes.
