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

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

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

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

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 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
