Tears - Lyrics - Jason Michael Carroll

Jason Michael Carroll is an American country music artist. After being discovered at a local talent competition in 2004, Carroll was signed to the Arista Nashville label in 2006, releasing his debut album Waitin' in the Country that year. This album has produced three consecutive Top 40 country hits for him on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts: "Alyssa Lies", "Livin' Our Love Song" and "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead". Carroll's second album, Growing Up Is Getting Old, has also produced his fourth and fifth Top 40 hits. Carroll and Arista Nashville parted ways in February 2010.

Paid first and last month's rent, i don't know why i even carried in this old bed of mines Its not like i ever sleep All i do is think of her, and wonder how im gonna make things work Cause i know as a dad i got a lot of responsibility Even tho God gave this gift to the both of us Some how every other weekend is how it ended up (chorus) When the telephone rings, i drop everything Cause when all u got is that 8 o'clock, nite nite dad i miss you a lot I stop in my tracks, i try to act strong when she calls And i thank God she cant hear tears...when they fall Now its her Dr. Seuss and me and shes learning how to read And i cant see those pictures, but i can hear those pages turn And her mother says it bath time, as she blows a kiss through the line I don't kno whats worse saying goodbye, or talking to her Cause im the one that should be there tucking her in the bed But since her voice is all i have im thankful for what i get (repeat chorus) If she knew i was crying she might think its her fault, oh but that's just me missing her Every time we talk....every time we talk (repeat chorus)
