[Verse 1]
Every time I read your letter, tears fill my eyes
When I get to the part where you say goodbye
You said that I’d be better off, I wish I felt the same
I guess I will when there’s not a tear left to my name

[Verse 2]
Well, your words have run together and caused my crying eyes
But I’ve got this old letter memorized
If I don’t lose these thoughts of you, I’ll slowly go insane
Baby, when there’s not a tear left to my name

[Chorus]
When there's not a tear left to my name
Baby, then my heart can let go of this pain
When will I think of you and not feel that I'm to blame?
Baby, when there's not a tear left to my name

[Verse 3]
This house is like a prison, it feels like I'm doing time
I've cried so much, I think I’m going blind
Well, will you ever pardon me? When will it ever change?
Baby, when there’s not a tear left to my name

[Chorus]
When there's not a tear left to my name
Maybe then my heart can let go of this pain
When will I think of you and not feel that I'm to blame?
Baby, when there's not a tear left to my name
When will I think of you and not feel that I'm to blame?
Only when there's not a tear left to my name (to my name)
