Lyrics
Tears For Two
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Luck found me too late
To be what I could use
And caught me tempting fate
Still red handed and confused
Pride has sent me where
There's not much left to lose
Then cruelly let me care
And convinced me I could choose
Chorus:
About you
As if there was one small chance
to be through
With everything I can't
So even if this worn-out heart was new
And all its foolish hopes were true
This one lifetime just won't do
'Cause I cried enough tears for two
Dreamin only served
To take my restless sleep
Stealing comfort from these eyes
So desperate for relief
Fueled by empty promises
They never meant to keep
Leaving me with nothing more
Than endless years to weep
Chorus:
