"Tears" lyrics - CYNTHIA ERIVO

CYNTHIA ERIVO
"Tears"
(Cynthia Erivo / Harold Lilly / Jack Splash)

Hands touch, eyes meet
Your spirit's talking to me, your soul breaks so quietly
I hear its soft melody

[Hook:]
I can remember how sadness became you
I wished I could save you, I took you in my arms

[Chorus:]
You cried, all the tears you cried
How many times have you been undone
By the roses on the earth
Their thorns are lethal and you're left with scars
They're embroidered on your heart
You cried, all the tears you cried

Breathe deep, seek peace
In the stranger who's willing to meet
I observe I'm the thing that you need
I see your woods through the trees

[Hook:]
I can remember how sadness became you
I wished I could save you, I took you in my arms

[Chorus:]
You cried, all the tears you cried
How many times have you been undone
By the roses on the earth
Their thorns are lethal and you're left with scars
They're embroidered on your heart
You cried, all the tears you cried
You cried, all the tears you cried
The tears you cried

[Outro:]
(Do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do)
(How many times have you come undone?)
(How many times have you come undone?)
(How many times have you come undone?)
(How many times have you come undone?)
