Still got the flowers you sent And the note you wrote that said we´re meant to be forever I keep ´em 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 ´head and wish me well I´ll cry a wishing well I´ll fly before I fall
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 pillows dry Like there´s a sea in my eyes I realize that sometimes life 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 ´head and wish me well I´ll cry a wishing well I´ll fly before I fall 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´ve 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 fall I´ll set sail and drift away So I won´t need you here Love sinks and hope floats
