Lyrics
Only Tears
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.
only tears are meant to fall
only once and that is all
and when you start to lose the fight
and nothing else will make it right
only hearts are meant to break
and when you make that last mistake
and everything you tried to say
but all the words got in the way
only god can hear you now
when you make that final vow
say the words and say them loud
say the words that make you proud
and when you lose someone you depend upon
only tears will fall
and when you need a friend I will send you one
only tears are meant to fall
only tears are meant to fall
only once and that is all
only tears are meant to fall
only once and that is all
only tears are meant to fall
only once and that is all
only tears are meant to fall
