And we stare each other down

like victims in the grind

Probing all the weakness and

hurt still left behind and we cry

The tears of pearls

We do it. Oh we do it.

Is love really the tragedy the way you

might describe?

Or would a thousand lovers

still leave you cold inside?

Make you cry...

These tears of pearls

All these mixed emotions

we keep locked away like stolen pearls

Stolen pearl devotions we

keep locked away from all the world

Your kisses are like pearls,

so different and so rare

But anger stole the jewels away

and love has left you bare,

Made you cry...

These tears of pearls

Well I could be the tired joker

pour my heart to get you in

Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win

Maybe cry...

These tears of pearls

All these mixed emotions

we keep locked away like stolen pearls

Stolen pearl devotions we

keep locked away from all the world

We twist and turn where angels burn

Like fallen soldiers we will learn

Once forgotten, twice removed

Love will be the death...

The death of you

All these mixed emotions

we keep locked away like stolen pearls

Stolen pearl devotions we

keep locked away from all the world
