And we stare each other down like victims in the grind/ Probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind and we cry/ The tears of pearls.
Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe/ Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside make you cry/ The tears of pearls.
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls/ Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world.
Your kisses are like pearls so different and so rare/ But anger stole the jewels away and love has left you bare/ Made you cry these tears of pearls.
Well I could be the tired joker pour my heart to get you in/ Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win/ Maybe cry……the tears of pearls.
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls/ Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world.
We twist and turn where angels burn/ Like fallen soldiers we will learn/ That once forgotten twice removed/ Love will be the death/ The death of you.
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls/ Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world.
