River Of Tears

Still got the flowers that you sent

And the note you wrote that said we're meant to be forever

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

Go 'head and wish me well

I'll cry a wishing well

I'll fly before I fail

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

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

Go 'head and wish me well

I'll cry a wishing well

I'll fly before I fail

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

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

Go 'head and wish me well

I'll cry a wishing well

I'll fly before I fail

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
