River Of Tears

Still got the flowers that you sentAnd the note you wrote that saidThat we were meant to be foreverI keep them all as evidenceIn a drawer under the mirrorFilled 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 unforgivenI'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 tearsI 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 tideI 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 demiseI'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 tearsCry me a river, build myself a bridgeI'm over thisCan'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 moreI'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
