From The Start

In the mornin', I hear an empty sound Like a lonely highway, in a lonely town Was it mercy, like a dog found in a road Was it loneliness, I just gotta know From the Start, there's a tear in my heart And it cries for the better things From the Start, there's a tear in my heart And it's drippin' down the edges that were broken From the Start Like a candle, in a summer rain Will it kill the fire, will it douse the flame Know the passion, can you feel the fire Did you really want me, was it mere desire From the Start, there's a tear in my heart And it cries for the better things From the Start, there's a tear in my heart And it's drippin' down the edges that were broken Like sugar held from a children's reach Like the empty shells that was upon the beach We were hoping we'd find our fortune there But a fool's reward, something never shared From the Start, there's a tear in my heart And it cries for the better things From the Start, we were drifting apart With your eyes you would start to sing this sad song From the Start, there's a tear in my heart And it's drippin' down the edges that were broken
