Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So this is it, here it is
A pot of gold, a Judas kiss
I got what I wanted
I paid every cost
I'd give it all back
To get back what I've lost
Like a wave on the beach
Last leaf on the tree
It's all just a memory
[Chorus]
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
[Verse 2]
They shake my hand
Pet my back
They know my drink
Welcome back
Life of the party
Tears of a clown
Can't hear a heartbreak
The music's too loud
[Chorus]
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
[Bridge]
It's just broken glass
Chalk lines on the street
Move along, move along
Ain't nothing here to see
[Chorus]
Oh, love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My riches just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No bitter goodbyes
Oh, love pick me up
Oh, love pick me up
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
[Outro]
A teardrop to the sea
A teardrop to the sea
