River of Tears

[00:11.04] Still got the flowers that you sent

[00:15.02] And the note you wrote that said that we were meant to be forever

[00:21.40] I keep them all as evidence

[00:25.66] In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises

[00:32.03] I don't know why I keep letting you lie to me

[00:37.09] Hard as I try, it seems I can't breakaway

[00:41.35] I thought that you would be the hero, come and save the day

[00:46.39] But you're a villain, your sins aren't forgiven

[00:51.97] I'm goin' down, and you have watched me drown

[00:56.75] In the river of tears, lost beneath the stream

[01:02.89] Under the waves, I've found the strength to say

[01:07.42] The river of tears has washed me clean

[01:14.05] (Ho-ahh) Go ahead and wish me well

[01:17.24] (Ahh) I'll cry a wishin' well

[01:19.89] (Ahh) I'll fly before I fail

[01:22.28] (Haa) I'll set sail and drift away

[01:25.47] So, I won't need you here

[01:28.15] Love sinks and hope floats

[01:31.34] In the river of tears

[01:33.98] In the river of tears

[01:36.64] I catch your scent in every wind

[01:40.10] And I recall the love we had, I can't pretend

[01:45.67] That I don't miss you every now and then

[01:50.71] But the hurt is for the better, movin' on, it's now or never

[01:56.82] (Ho-ahh) Lost in the tide, (Ahh) I can't keep my pillows dry

[02:01.35] (Ahh) Like there's a sea in my eyes, (Ahh) I realize that sometimes

[02:06.66] Love brings you flowers, then it builds you coffins

[02:10.92] And far too often, we end up falling to our demise

[02:17.83] I'm goin' down, and you have watched me drown

[02:22.10] In the river of tears, lost beneath the stream

[02:28.20] Under the waves, I've found the strength to say

[02:32.71] The river of tears has washed me clean

[02:39.36] (Ho-ahh) Go ahead and wish me well

[02:42.55] (Ahh) I'll cry a wishin' well

[02:45.46] (Ahh) I'll fly before I fail

[02:47.86] (Haa) I'll set sail and drift away

[02:50.78] So, I won't need you here

[02:53.98] Love sinks and hope floats

[02:56.91] In the river of tears

[02:59.31] In the river of tears

[03:01.18] (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[03:01.96] Cry me a river, build myself a bridge, I'm over this

[03:05.96] Can't let memories become the death of me, I'm glad to see

[03:12.09] (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[03:12.63] Everything that you are and I believe that you are

[03:17.71] Everything I needed but I don't need no more

[03:21.96] I'm goin' down, and you have watched me drown

[03:25.68] In the river of tears, lost beneath the stream

[03:32.05] Under the waves, I've found the strength to say

[03:36.56] The river of tears has washed me clean

[03:42.95] (Ho-ahh) Go ahead and wish me well

[03:49.33] (Ahh) I'll cry a wishin' well

[03:49.86] (Ahh) I'll fly before I fail

[03:51.99] (Haa) I'll set sail and drift away

[03:54.64] So, I won't need you here

[03:57.56] Love sinks and hope floats

[04:00.49] In the river of tears

[04:03.41] In the river of tears
