"Tears of Pearls" by Savage Garden

And we stare at each other down like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness and hurt still 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


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 deifferent and so rare
But anger sotle the jewelsaway 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...
These 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
