River Of Tears |
| Still got the flowers that you sent |
| And the note you wrote that said that we were meant to be forever |
| An' I keep them all as evidence |
| In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises |
| I don’t know why |
| I keep letting you lie to me |
| Hard as I try |
| It seems I can’t break away |
| I thought that you would be the hero |
| Come and save the day |
| But you’re a villain |
| Your sins unforgiven |
| I’m going down, and you have watched me drown |
| In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream |
| Under the waves, I’ve found the strength to say |
| The river of tears has washed me clean |
| (Hoo-waa) |
| Go 'head and wish me well |
| (Haaa) I’ll cry a wishing well |
| (Haaa) I’ll fly before I fail |
| (Haaa) I’ll set sail and drift away |
| So I won’t need you here |
| Love sinks and hope floats |
| In a river of tears |
| In a river of tears |
| I catch your scent in every wind |
| And I recall the love we had, I can’t pretend |
| That I don’t miss you every now and then |
| But the hurt is for the better |
| Moving on, it’s now or never |
| (Hoo-waa) |
| Lost in the tide, I can’t keep my pillows dry |
| Like there’s a sea in my eyes |
| I realize that sometimes love brings you flowers |
| Then it builds you coffins |
| And far too often |
| We end up falling to our demise |
| I’m going down, and you have watched me drown |
| In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream |
| Under the waves, I’ve found the strength to say |
| The river of tears has washed me clean |
| (Hoo-waa) |
| Go 'head and wish me well |
| (Haaa) I’ll cry a wishing well |
| (Haaa) I’ll fly before I fail |
| (Haaa) I’ll set sail and drift away |
| So I won’t need you here |
| Love sinks and hope floats |
| In a river of tears |
| In a river of tears |
| (Wooo-aaaa-ooh) |
| Cry me a river, build myself a bridge |
| I’m over this, can’t let memories become the death of me |
| I’m glad to see everything that you are |
| And I believe that you are everything I needed |
| But I don’t need no more |
| I’m going down, and you have watched me drown |
| In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream |
| Under the waves, I’ve found the strength to say |
| The river of tears has washed me clean |
| (Hoo-waa) |
| Go 'head and wish me well |
| (Haaa) I’ll cry a wishing well |
| (Haaa) I’ll fly before I fail |
| (Haaa) I’ll set sail and drift away |
| So I won’t need you here |
| Love sinks and hope floats |
| In a river of tears |
| In a river of tears |
