Lyrics and translation
Original
With this tear, I thee want
I long for you to talk to me like you did
That night in the restaurant
You spoke of love so openly
And again and again you promised me
That you'd never leave
But now you're gone
With this voice, I thee call
Sometimes I catch myself calling your name
When you're not there at all
Please tell me what I did wrong
Why must I hear your voice inside my head
All day and all night long?
It's not fair
With these arms I held you
When you told me you were dying, I had less courage, it's true
And you wrote every day
Writing 'bout the things that we could do
When your pain went away
But all that went away was you
With this tear, I thee want
I long for you to talk to me like you did
That night in the restaurant
With this tear
I thee want
I thee want
I thee want
With this tear, I thee want
With this tear
English translation
With this tear, I thee want
I long for you to talk to me like you did
That night in the restaurant
You spoke of love so openly
And again and again you promised me
That you'd never leave
But now you're gone
With this voice, I thee call
Sometimes I catch myself calling your name
When you're not there at all
Please tell me what I did wrong
Why must I hear your voice inside my head
All day and all night long?
It's not fair
With these arms I held you
When you told me you were dying, I had less courage, it's true
And you wrote every day
Writing 'bout the things that we could do
When your pain went away
But all that went away was you
With this tear, I thee want
I long for you to talk to me like you did
That night in the restaurant
With this tear
I thee want
I thee want
I thee want
With this tear, I thee want
With this tear
