Save Your Tears – The Weeknd

Save Your Tears Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh
Na-na, yeah

[Verse 1]
I saw you dancing in a crowded room (Uh)
You look so happy when I’m not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye

[Refrain]
I don’t know why I run away
I make you cry when I run away

[Verse 2]
You could’ve asked me why I broke your heart
You could’ve told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn’t there
And just pretended like you didn’t care

[Refrain]
I don’t know why I run away
I make you cry when I run away

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me back ’cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another

[Chorus]
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day (So)

[Verse 3]
I made you think that I would always stay
I said some things that I should never say
Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine
And now you won’t love me for a second time

[Refrain]
I don’t know why I run away, oh, girl
Said, I make you cry when I run away

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, take me back ’cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
I realize that I’m much too late
And you deserve someone better

[Chorus]
Save your tears for another day (Oh yeah)
Save your tears for another day (Yeah)

[Refrain]
I don’t know why I run away
I’ll make you cry when I run away

[Chorus]
Save your tears for another day
Ooh, girl, I said (Ah)
Save your tears for another day (Ah)

[Outro]
Save your tears for another day (Ah)
Save your tears for another day (Ah)
