Alessia Cara - 12 - River Of Tears
[00:10.65] Still got the flowers that you sent
[00:15.15] And the note you wrote that said we're meant to be forever
[00:21.90] I keep them all as evidence
[00:25.65] In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
[00:31.90] I don't know why
[00:33.16] I keep letting you lie to me
[00:37.15] Hard as I try
[00:38.40] It seems I can't break away
[00:42.40] I thought that you would be the hero
[00:44.28] Come and save the day
[00:46.18] But you're a villain
[00:48.43] Your sins unforgiven
[00:51.68] I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
[00:56.68] In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
[01:02.67] Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
[01:07.43] The river of tears has washed me clean
[01:14.67] Go 'head and wish me well
[01:17.42] I'll cry a wishing well
[01:20.17] I'll fly before I fail
[01:22.67] I'll set sail and drift away
[01:25.17] So I won't need you here
[01:28.67] Love sinks and hope floats
[01:31.43] In a river of tears
[01:34.17] In a river of tears
[01:36.17] I catch your scent in every wind
[01:40.17] And I recall the love we had, I can't pretend
[01:45.57] That I don't miss you every now and then
[01:50.82] But the hurt is for the better
[01:53.57] Moving on, it's now or never
[01:57.32] Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
[02:01.32] Like there's a sea in my eyes
[02:03.82] I realize that sometimes love brings you flowers
[02:08.32] Then it builds you coffins
[02:11.32] And far too often
[02:14.32] We end up falling to our demise
[02:18.57] I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
[02:23.32] In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
[02:28.07] Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
[02:32.82] The river of tears has washed me clean
[02:40.07] Go 'head and wish me well
[02:42.82] I'll cry a wishing well
[02:45.32] I'll fly before I fail
[02:48.07] I'll set sail and drift away
[02:50.57] So I won't need you here
[02:53.82] Love sinks and hope floats
[02:56.82] In a river of tears
[02:59.32] In a river of tears
[03:01.57] Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
[03:04.57] I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me
[03:10.82] I'm glad to see everything that you are
[03:14.82] And I believe that you are everything I needed
[03:19.32] But I don't need no more
[03:22.07] I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
[03:25.57] In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
[03:32.07] Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
[03:36.82] The river of tears has washed me clean
[03:44.06] Go 'head and wish me well
[03:47.07] I'll cry a wishing well
[03:49.31] I'll fly before I fail
[03:52.82] I'll set sail and drift away
[03:54.81] So I won't need you here
[03:58.06] Love sinks and hope floats
[04:00.56] In a river of tears
[04:03.31] In a river of tears
