Ariana Grande and The Weeknd’s ‘Save Your Tears’ Remix full lyrics


[Intro: The Weeknd & Ariana Grande]
Ooh (Ooh)
Nah-nah, yeah

[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
I saw you dancing in a crowded room
You look so happy when I'm not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye

[Refrain: The Weeknd & Ariana Grande]
I don't know why I run away (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I'll make you cry when I run away (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus: The Weeknd & Ariana Grande]
Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Save your tears for another day (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day

[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
Met you once under a Pisces moon
I kept my distance 'cause I know that you
Don't like when I'm with nobody else
I couldn't help it, I put you through hell

[Refrain: Ariana Grande]
I don't know why I run away (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh boy, I'll make you cry when I run away (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Boy, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
I realize that it's much too late
And you deserve someone better
Save your tears for another day (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Refrain: Both, Ariana Grande]
I don't know why I run away (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum)
I'll make you cry when I run away (Save)

[Chorus: Both, Ariana Grande & The Weeknd]
Save your tears for another day (Ooh)
Ooh, girl (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay)
I said save your tears for another day (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Outro: Both, Ariana Grande & The Weeknd]
Save your tears for another day (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Save your tears for another day
