"Tears Don't Fall" comes from The Poison, the first full-length album by Welsh metal crew Bullet for My Valentine, and in June 2006 it became the fourth single cut from it, going out through Trustkill in the US. Matthew Tuck wrote the words, and Colin Richardson produced and mixed it, giving the band's melodic metalcore a hard, glossy punch.
It took the Kerrang! Award for Best Single in 2006 and climbed to No. 24 on Mainstream Rock and No. 32 on the Alternative Rock tally. Tony Petrossian's video sets the band in pouring rain while a romance curdles on the road: the car runs dry, the fuel ends up spilled, and the man drives off with Taylor Cole's character running after him. The band picked the thread back up in 2013 with "Tears Don't Fall (Part 2)" on Temper Temper, their fourth album.
