Tears

I lost it all
I punched the wall again
But it was stronger than my hands
And they were swollen, they were red

And I'm a fool
I'm not a lion, I'm a man
I can't outrun the hurt, they said
But I can love and love again
You too
You too

We got scars reminding us
That we got hearts that bleed
Next time we're dealt dirty cards
We've got tears so we can weep

I took control
When I was pressing sheets
Tryin' to cry myself to sleep
Slapped some good sense into me

I cut the rope
Lifted the chin that held my head
A moment of silence and regret
And felt the pounding in my chest
Oh, yeah

We got scars reminding us
That we got hearts that bleed
Next time we're dealt dirty cards
We've got tears so we can weep

They don't know the pain in love
'Cause they love apathy
Maybe we are better off
Havin' tears so we can weep

Sticks and thorns tearin' up holes
Turnin' us to stone
We're all made naked by the truth
Sticks and thorns won't ever hush my soul
Whatever love I know

We got scars reminding us
That we got hearts that bleed
And next time we're dealt dirty cards
We've got tears so we can weep

They don't know the pain in love
'Cause they love apathy
Maybe we are better off
Havin' tears so we can weep

Maybe we are better off
Havin' tears so we can weep
