There is a song from a hair band with the refrain " if there's a tear in my eye it's

Shotgun Messiah - Living Without You

album Second Coming (1991)

I walk the streets alone at night

a shadow in the city light

I didn't know that love could hurt

how little broken hearts are worth

all that we had gone forever

things that we said it will never be

livin' without you don't bother me

if there's a tear in my eye

it's not for you

don't flatter yourself

if there's a tear in my eye

it's not for you

we crossed our hearts and hoped to die

we swore that we would never lie

but love just slipped away somehow

baby, it's all over now

all that we had gone forever

things that we said it will never be

livin' without you don't bother me

if there's a tear in my eye

it's not for you

don't flatter yourself

if there's a tear in my eye

it's not for you

you seemed so innocent, you had me blinded

what good is all your beauty, there's nothing behind it

(solo)

if there's a tear in my eye

it's not for you

don't flatter yourself

if there's a tear in my eye

it's not for you

lock the door and cut the lights

I won't be coming home tonight
