River Of Tears Lyrics by Alessia Cara Alessia Cara
Below, you will find the lyrics for River Of Tears by Alessia Cara.
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
Chorus 1
I don't know why
I keep letting you lie to me
Chorus 1
Hard as I try
It seems I can't break away
Chorus 1
I thought that you would be the hero
Come and save the day
Chorus 1
But you're a villain
Your sins unforgiven
Chorus 1
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 fall
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
Verse 1
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
Chorus 2
Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
Like there's a sea in my eyes
I realize that sometimes life brings you flowers
Chorus 2
Then it builds you coffins
And far too often
We end up falling to our demise
Chorus 2
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
Bridge
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
Bridge
But I don't need no more
Chorus 3
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 fall
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
