Tears Of Pearls

Savage Garden

And we stare 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 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 

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 
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
