Lyrics

[00:11.39] Still got the flowers that you sent
[00:15.44] And the note you wrote that said we're meant to be forever
[00:21.92] I keep them all as evidence
[00:26.22] In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
[00:32.15] I don't know why
[00:33.88] I keep letting you lie to me
[00:37.35] Hard as I try
[00:39.26] It seems I can't break away
[00:41.93] I thought that you would be the hero
[00:44.71] Come and save the day
[00:46.54] But you're a villain
[00:48.91] Your sins unforgiven
[00:52.25] I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
[00:57.06] In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
[01:02.91] Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
[01:07.80] The river of tears has washed me clean
[01:14.03] Go 'head and wish me well
[01:17.54] I'll cry a wishing well
[01:20.11] I'll fly before I fail
[01:22.86] I'll set sail and drift away
[01:25.62] So I won't need you here
[01:28.75] Love sinks and hope floats
[01:31.72] In a river of tears
[01:34.35] In a river of tears
[01:36.89] I catch your scent in every wind
[01:40.84] And I recall the love we had
[01:43.36] I can't pretend that I don't miss you
[01:48.05] Every now and then
[01:51.51] But the hurt is for the better
[01:54.14] Moving on, it's now or never
[01:57.06] Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
[02:01.72] Like there's a sea in my eyes
[02:04.34] I realize that sometimes love brings you flowers
[02:08.80] Then it builds you coffins
[02:11.67] And far too often
[02:14.70] We end up falling to our demise
[02:17.74] I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
[02:22.42] In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
[02:28.26] Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
[02:32.19] The river of tears has washed me clean
[02:39.42] Go 'head and wish me well
[02:42.87] I'll cry a wishing well
[02:45.58] I'll fly before I fail
[02:48.15] I'll set sail and drift away
[02:50.95] So I won't need you here
[02:54.12] Love sinks and hope floats
[02:57.10] In a river of tears
[02:59.84] In a river of tears
[03:02.52] Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
[03:04.93] I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me
[03:10.98] I'm glad to see everything that you are
[03:14.96] And I believe that you are everything I needed
[03:18.73] But I don't need no more
[03:22.20] I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
[03:26.09] In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
[03:32.04] Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
[03:36.94] The river of tears has washed me clean
[03:43.55] Go 'head and wish me well
[03:46.63] I'll cry a wishing well
[03:49.28] I'll fly before I fail
[03:51.92] I'll set sail and drift away
[03:54.59] So I won't need you here
[03:57.81] Love sinks and hope floats
[04:00.81] In a river of tears
[04:03.42] In a river of tears
