Tears of Pearls

And we stare each other down like victims in the grind

Probing all the weakness and hurts you left behind

And we cry the tears of pearls

We do it, oh, we do it

Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe?

Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside?

Make you cry these tears of pearls

Oh, 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 the 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 these tears of pearls

Oh, 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

Oh, all these mixed emotions

We keep locked away like stolen pearls

Stolen pearl devotions

We keep locked away from all the world

Oh, all these mixed emotions

We keep locked away like stolen pearls

Stolen pearl devotions

We keep locked away from all the world
