River Of Tears Lyrics - Alessia Cara

Still got the flowers that you sent 

And the note you wrote that said that we were 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 ahead 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 

Photos 

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 ahead 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 ahead 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
