River of tears

I was staring into mid-air

Thinking thoughts I didn't want to share

I´m sorry I hid my heart from you

When you were desperate to hear

I was protecting myself

From you, and everyone else

I´m sorry I hid my heart from you

and made you utter your farewells

Now I´ll gather the rain

and make a river of tears

and you will remain

Clueless to my heartbroken prayers

I was afraid

of love so I let you leave

Now I´ll gather the rain

and watch it flow back into the sea

I was staring at the sunset

Gathering all of my regrets

I´m sorry I hid my heart from you

I´m sorry time never resets

I was protecting my soul

But in my heart I´ve made big hole

I´m sorry I hid my heart from you

but life´s pain has taken its toll

Now I´ll gather the rain

and make a river of tears

and you will remain

Clueless to my heartbroken prayers

I was afraid

of love so I let you leave

Now I´ll gather the rain

and watch it flow back into the sea
