Still got the flowers that you sent
And the note you wrote to say
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 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
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
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
Lost in the tide
I can't keep my pillow 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
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
In a river of tears
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 found the strength to say
The river of tears has washed me clean
Go head 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
In a river of tears
