River of Tears

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Still got the flowers that you sent And the note you wrote that said that we were meant to be forever I keep them all as evidence In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises [Pre-Chorus] I don't know why I keep letting you lie to me Hard as I try, it seems I can't breakaway I thought that you would be the hero, come and save the day But you're a villain, your sins aren't forgiven [Chorus] I'm goin' down, and you have watched me drown In the 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 (Ho-ahh) Go ahead and wish me well (Ahh) I'll cry a wishin' well (Ahh) I'll fly before I fail (Haa) I'll set sail and drift away So, I won't need you here Love sinks and hope floats In the river of tears In the river of tears [Verse 2] 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, movin' on, it's now or never [Pre-Chorus] (Ho-ahh) Lost in the tide, (Ahh) I can't keep my pillows dry (Ahh) Like there's a sea in my eyes, (Ahh) I realize that sometimes Love brings you flowers, then it builds you coffins And far too often, we end up falling to our demise [Chorus] I'm goin' down, and you have watched me drown In the 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 (Ho-ahh) Go ahead and wish me well (Ahh) I'll cry a wishin' well (Ahh) I'll fly before I fail (Haa) I'll set sail and drift away So, I won't need you here Love sinks and hope floats In the river of tears In the river of tears [Bridge] (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) 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 (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Everything that you are and I believe that you are Everything I needed but I don't need no more [Chorus] I'm goin' down, and you have watched me drown In the 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 (Ho-ahh) Go ahead and wish me well (Ahh) I'll cry a wishin' well (Ahh) I'll fly before I fail (Haa) I'll set sail and drift away So, I won't need you here Love sinks and hope floats In the river of tears In the river of tears
