A letter arrives years after a painful goodbye, reopening wounds that never truly healed. One lover returns filled with regret, hoping to rewrite the past, but the damage is already done. The memories, tears, and broken trust have become too heavy to erase, leaving both hearts to face the sorrow of a love that time could never mend.
Tears Lyrics
[Verse 1: Bonnie Tyler]
Such a long time ago
Now I know
You’ve woke up to find
You were wrong
There ain’t no doubt
Put me out
Nearly made me blind
[Chorus 1: Bonnie Tyler]
You sent me a letter, brought tears to my eyes
Tell me you’ve changed, after all this time
Like a stone rolling down the mountainside
It’s over, you can’t turn the tide
And it’s…
[Hook: Bonnie Tyler & Frankie Miller]
Tears falling about love, falling without love
Tears falling about love, falling without love
[Verse 2: Frankie Miller, Bonnie Tyler]
I was glad to be with you
Near to you
My heart can’t deny (And why, baby, why?)
I was sad to leave your side
Stripped of pride
When we said goodbye (Goodbye, baby, bye)
[Chorus 2: Frankie Miller, Frankie Miller & Bonnie Tyler]
For every new road there must be a friend
For every broken heart there must be a mend
And the rain only lasted so long
It’s over, the thing we had is gone
And it’s…
[Hook: Bonnie Tyler & Frankie Miller]
Tears falling about love, falling without love
Tears falling about love, falling without love
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 3: Bonnie Tyler, Frankie Miller]
To tell me you’ve changed brought tears to my eyes
Say you’ve rearranged after all this time
Like a stone rolling down the mountainside
It’s over, you can’t turn the tide
And nothin’s gonna stop my cryin’
[Hook: Bonnie Tyler & Frankie Miller, Bonnie Tyler, Frankie Miller]
Tears falling about love, falling without love (Oh, it’s what they mean to me)
Tears falling about love, falling without love (Oh, that’s what they mean)
Tears falling about love, falling without love
Tears falling about love, falling without love (Oh, oh, yeah, yeah)
Tears falling about love, falling without love
Tears falling about love, falling without love (Oh, no)
Tears falling about love, falling without love
Tears falling…

Song Bio of Tears By Bonnie Tyler
Some songs about heartbreak arrive mid-storm. “Tears” arrives after it, when the dust has settled and an old letter shows up to stir it all back awake. Released as part of Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 album Faster Than the Speed of Night, the track pairs her with Scottish singer-songwriter Frankie Miller for a duet built around a familiar, painful scenario: an ex-lover reaching out years later, full of regret, hoping a few written words can undo damage that’s already permanent.
Produced by John Jansen and Jim Steinman, the same team behind Tyler’s career-defining work that year, “Tears” leans into the raw, theatrical intensity Steinman was known for, but strips it down to something more intimate. Tyler’s smoke-and-gravel vocal and Miller’s weathered delivery trade verses like two people replaying the same breakup from opposite sides, each convinced the other doesn’t quite understand how much it cost them.
There’s no reconciliation here, no fairy-tale reversal. The song sits in the uncomfortable truth that some doors, once closed, don’t reopen just because someone finally worked up the nerve to knock. That refusal to soften the ending is exactly what gives “Tears” its staying power.
