River Of Tears
Still got the flowers that you sentAnd the note you wrote that said we're meant to be foreverI keep them all as evidenceIn a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promisesI don't know whyI keep letting you lie to meHard as I tryIt seems I can't break awayI thought that you would be the heroCome and save the dayBut you're a villainYour sins unforgiven
I'm going down, and you have watched me drownIn a river of tears, lost beneath the streamUnder the waves, I've found the strength to sayThe river of tears has washed me cleanGo 'head and wish me wellI'll cry a wishing wellI'll fly before I failI'll set sail and drift awaySo I won't need you hereLove sinks and hope floatsIn a river of tearsIn a river of tears
I catch your scent in every windAnd I recall the love we hadI can't pretend that I don't miss youEvery now and thenBut the hurt is for the betterMoving on, it's now or neverLost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dryLike there's a sea in my eyesI realize that sometimes love brings you flowersThen it builds you coffinsAnd far too oftenWe end up falling to our demise
I'm going down, and you have watched me drownIn a river of tears, lost beneath the streamUnder the waves, I've found the strength to sayThe river of tears has washed me cleanGo 'head and wish me wellI'll cry a wishing wellI'll fly before I failI'll set sail and drift awaySo I won't need you hereLove sinks and hope floatsIn a river of tearsIn a river of tears
Cry me a river, build myself a bridgeI'm over this, can't let memories become the death of meI'm glad to see everything that you areAnd I believe that you are everything I neededBut I don't need no more
I'm going down, and you have watched me drownIn a river of tears, lost beneath the streamUnder the waves, I've found the strength to sayThe river of tears has washed me cleanGo 'head and wish me wellI'll cry a wishing wellI'll fly before I failI'll set sail and drift awaySo I won't need you hereLove sinks and hope floatsIn a river of tearsIn a river of tears
