Savage Garden - Tears of Pearls lyrics

rate me

And we stare each other down

Like vicitms 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

Chorus

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

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

Chorus

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

Repeat chorus
