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 |
