Still got the flowers that you sent
And the note you wrote that said were meant to be forever
I keep them all as evidence
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
I dont know why
I keep letting you lie to me
Hard as I try
It seems I cant break away
I thought that you would be the hero
Come and save the day
But youre a villain
Your sins unforgiven

Im going down, and you have watched me drown
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Under the waves, Ive found the strength to say
The river of tears has washed me clean
Go head and wish me well
Ill cry a wishing well
Ill fly before I fail
Ill set sail and drift away
So I wont 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 cant pretend that I dont miss you
Every now and then
But the hurt is for the better
Moving on, its now or never
Lost in the tide, I cant keep my pillows dry
Like theres 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

Im going down, and you have watched me drown
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Under the waves, Ive found the strength to say
The river of tears has washed me clean
Go head and wish me well
Ill cry a wishing well
Ill fly before I fail
Ill set sail and drift away
So I wont 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
Im over this, cant let memories become the death of me
Im glad to see everything that you are
And I believe that you are everything I needed
But I dont need no more

Im going down, and you have watched me drown
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Under the waves, Ive found the strength to say
The river of tears has washed me clean
Go head and wish me well
Ill cry a wishing well
Ill fly before I fail
Ill set sail and drift away
So I wont need you here
Love sinks and hope floats
In a river of tears
In a river of tears
