Still got the flowers that you sent
And I know 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 sin's unforgiven
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 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 flows
In a river of tears
In a river of tears
I catch a 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 heart is for the better
Moving on is now or never
Lost beneath the stream




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
And it builds your 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 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 flows
In a river of tears
In a river of tears
Cry me a river
Live 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 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 flows
In a river of tears
In a river of tears
