Coleridge Tillman - River of Tears lyrics

[Verse 1] Still got the flowers that you sent And the note you wrote that said we're 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 [Chorus] 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 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 [Verse 2] 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 Then it builds you coffins And far too often We end up falling to our demise [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Cry me a river, build myself a bridge I'm over this, can't let memories become the d**h 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 [Chorus] 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
