Swallow My Tears Songtext
von Gwen Stefani

The past keeps chasin′ me around
I thought I lost it, but then it found me
Like it always does
Dragging me back to who I was

And I'm runnin′, I'm runnin'
But not from you

I stay one step ahead of the pain
I keep an umbrella when there′s no rain
I got my guard up when there′s no war
Don't know what I′m fighting for


Give me a second, I need to swallow my tears
I promise, I promise, I promise I want you here
I want you here
But first let me swallow my tears
Lookin' for God, I′m prayin', kneelin′
Had to go and do some healin'
Sorry I was ghostin' you (Ghostin′ you)
But what was I supposed to do?

I′m runnin', I′m runnin'
But not from you

I stay one step ahead of the pain
I keep an umbrella when there′s no rain
I got my guard up when there's no war
Don′t know what I'm fighting for

Give me a second, I need to swallow my tears
I promise, I promise, I promise I want you here
I want you here
Oh, give me a second, I need to swallow my tears
I promise, I promise, I promise I want you here (I want you here)
I want you here (I need you here)
I want you here (I want you here)
I want you here (I need you here)

I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
