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.
I don't know why
I keep letting you lie to me
As 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 sin's unforgiven.
I'm going down and you have
watched me drown
In a river of tears,
lost beneath the stream.
Under the waves I found
the strength to say,
"The river of tears
Has washed me clean"
Go ahead 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.
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 and
it builds you coffins,
And far to often,
It ends up leading 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 found the strength to say,
"The river of tears
has washed me clean."
Go ahead 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.
A river of tears.
Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
I'm over this, can't let my memories
become the death of me
I'm glad to see everthing 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 found the strength to say,
"The river of tears
has washed me clean"
Go ahead 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.
A river of tears.
