Cara, Alessia - River Of Tears Lyrics






Still got the flowers that you sent
And the note you wrote that said that we were meant to be forever
I keep them all as evidence
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
I don't know why
I keep letting you lie to me
Hard as I try
It seems I can't break away
I thought that you would be the hero
Come and save the day
But you're a villain
Your sins unforgiven

I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Under the waves I've found the strength to say
The river of tears has washed me clean
Go 'head and wish me well
I'll cry a wishing well
I'll fly before I fail
I'll set sail and drift away
So I won't need you here
Love sinks and hope floats
In a river of tears
In a river of tears

I catch your scent in every wind
And I recall the love we had, I can't pretend
That I don't miss you every now and then
But the hurt is for the better
Moving on, it's now or never
Lost in the tide
I can't keep my pillows dry
Like there's a sea in my eyes
I realize that sometimes love brings you flowers
Then it builds you coffins
And far too often
We end up falling to our demise

I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Under the waves I've found the strength to say
The river of tears has washed me clean
Go 'head and wish me well
I'll cry a wishing well
I'll fly before I fail
I'll set sail and drift away
So I won't need you here
Love sinks and hope floats
In a river of tears
In a river of tears

Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me
I'm glad to see everything that you are
And I believe that you are everything I needed
But I don't need no more

I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Under the waves I've found the strength to say
The river of tears has washed me clean
Go 'head and wish me well
I'll cry a wishing well
I'll fly before I fail
I'll set sail and drift away
So I won't need you here
Love sinks and hope floats
In a river of tears
In a river of tears

Cara, Alessia River Of Tears Comments
  1. L.... ....

    this song makes me cry, and i’ve sang it and one of my friends told me it’s good my voice and i love this song so much, it made me get over my ex who broke my heart and who moved on quick in 1 month and i was the girl who gave him everything but things happen for a reason and now i’m happy!!

  2. C.... S....

    When she says “And I believe that you are everything I needed/But I don't need no more” i feel that

  3. k.... k....

    I JUST LOVE THIS SONG IT MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME

  4. R.... K....

    don't put your trust in humans if you don't wanna end up disappointed drowning in a river of tears.

  5. M.... L....

    I listened to this in prison

  6. E.... P....

    I leard that boy are a discras I dated for a quick 20minutes and he broke up with me and he tried to be my friend and I said no we are done that what u wanted

  7. S.... W....

    I saw alessia in Concert at the 02 she was Shawn Mendes support act, it was the most emotional and beautiful experience I’ve ever had. I wish I could go back so bad everyday. It was magical. I’ll never ever forget that day. <3

  8. S.... ....

    This is are lyrical song

  9. G.... B....

    My ex bf died from a heroin overdose 3 years ago. I met him when he was clean and had been for a while. He was bright genuine beautiful soul. His eyes and smile could make my worst pain turn into pure happiness. He listened to all the things that happened to me when I was young that broke me. Genuinely cried with me for my pain. We both lost our dads tragically, my dad was murdered. His dad died from a doctor in a mal practice. We had that bond that we both felt so broken we turned to drugs and alcohol because the pain was unbearable. But when we were together we both didn’t do drugs because we were each others high. Till he relapsed and I watched him slowly die in front of my eyes. I would be sick with anxiety for fear of waking up next to him dead or get a phone call he died. But then I got the phone call, that morning when he died I woke up from my sleep with a sharp pain on my heart. Almost as if I felt him die and leave earth. His sister called me bawling letting me know his body was found in his bathroom unresponsive. “ I realize life brings you flowers, then it builds you coffins and far to often it we end up falling to our demise” I would listen to this song everyday during the time and after his death. It’s almost as if Alessia wrote this song for me. This song would bring me to my knees praying to god to save him, and to take this pain away. 3 years later I’ve been dealing with the worst depression after losing him. Heroin ruined not only his life but mine. 💔

    my best friend started rumors about me and turned my friends against me for no reason other than obvious jealousy

  11. E.... X....

  20. I.... P....

    Does this give anyone Sansa Stark vibes

  21. N.... b....

    "you've probably never heard of it" she said.

    You stand correct, it was hiding in plain sight 17 mil and most likely nobody in the entire school has heard of it

  22. S.... R....

    i’ve loved this song for years now and i keep on waiting for her to become more popular but it’s just not happening🥺 Alessia is soooo talented and i feel like she doesn’t get enough recognition. her voice literally sounds like an angel

  23. P.... S....

    I hated audios until I met Alessia Cara

  24. I.... S....

    Save day but your a villain

  25. A.... I....

    Why listening this song make me feel so fucking sad?

  26. C.... M....

    Qui est la grace a wattpad? 😭😭

  27. C.... ....

    Please don't become a Miley Cyrus or an Ariana Grande your music is amazing

  28. C.... L....

    her voice..chills..

  29. s.... ....

    it's like damn why is this so f sad ! Alexa play rooting for you

  30. P.... D....

    He broke up with me do I listened to this song I caught on to him and it hurts but I am over him for sure

  31. I.... C....

    Good song, trash message. This song is typical on relating to those that are upset over a past relationship. Life isn’t a Nicolas Sparks movie, it’s a Rocky story. You’ll be punched and kicked but life is only worth it if you fight back.

  32. P.... O....

    She is so amazing and inspiring 😭😍💞💖

  33. P.... O....

    🇧🇷💚🇧🇷💚🇧🇷💚🇧🇷💚🇧🇷💚

  34. D.... M....

    😢😢😢😢

  35. A.... T....

    This song reminds me of an abuse relationship. In which I needed to get out of. It was physical and verbal. This song will give you courage and strength.

  36. A.... A....

    Some people are glow sticks they need to be broken before they can shine . If you are broken . Make yourself be a glow stick . It shows how strong you are .

  37. S.... L....

    vc e lindaaaaaaah @ beautiful alessia cara

  38. B.... L....

    I love this girl. She helped me through one of the hardest times in my life.

  39. R.... C....

    This song reminds me of how much I miss my boyfriend who passed...a month ago..😭

  40. T.... C....

    I can kind of sing, well that's what I think, my friends say I'm very good , im looking through her songs to sing and practice but there are so many good ones I can't choose which one to do first

  41. F.... A....

    I would kill for a Alessia Cara collaboration with BTS.If I see that I think I'll be ready for die.

  42. T.... D....

    Love:evoL:Evil

  43. T.... D....

    Stay single as long as you can enjoy life, friends, family, co-workers. Enjoy and soak it all in, cuz the only thing love has to give is heart break and misery draining the Love you have for everything else in life till all that’s left is a tumble weed blowing in the wind watching everyone else go by as you remain stuck in the past.

  44. M.... R....

    This song is so beautiful💖and Alessia has such a beautiful, soft, sweet, unique, powerfull and cute voice🔥.

    She's very talented👍, beautiful😍, inspiring💛.

    Her songs are amazing, good, chatchy, inspiring, reliteble and powerfull👍.

    She's also very kind, chill and caring💖.

  45. L.... S....

    I imagine all the single mothers and fathers that got rejected by loved ones in the world coming together singing this song.

  46. E.... M....

    I don't why I have this boy in my mind.. but he's a villian...or is the singer...?

  47. G.... A....

    A river of tires has washed it all away , moving on is all I have left...

And I can't get over him. I get butterflies just thinking about him. I can remember his scent and the feeling of his lips haunt me. And.I remember the first time we hugged, the warmth of him against me...😩 . I miss him but I can't leave my current boyfriend. Need too good to me. And he's depressed. I don't want to make it worse by leaving him. And I don't know what to do. Because this hurts me so much. I miss my ex so much and I can't stop crying about this I just love him so much and I don't know what to even do anymore someone help me please😨

  79. d.... /....

    i'm feeling it now man... back in 2015 everything fell to me and i realized i was only being used by people for them to have good grades and stuff and i ended up pushing myself away from everybody i (kinda) loved, in a rock bottom status. but a few months later i was finding new friends and slowly rebuilding myself. in 2016 it was falling again but not in the same intensity. and slowly rebuilding until last year (2018) when i thought i was at the top.

    then suddenly, even with stable and good relationship i felt i was less important (more than usual) than my group of friends, and add that to the fact that i recently came out as transgender and get little to no respect about it at home. but still my friends are supporting me and i'm glad about it

  80. d.... /....

    back when this was released i related to it so much... i still do nowadays but not the same way

  81. L.... B....

    can't let memories become the death of me...hits too close to heart

  82. M.... ....

    Como eu vim parar aqui q poha

  83. F.... C....

    Sounds like the exact same chords used in Rihanna´s ¨That´s alright because I love the way you lie¨

  84. N.... K....

    Hey 2019

  85. L.... R....

    Still got the flowers that you sent
    And the note you wrote that said
    That we're meant to be forever
    I keep them all as evidence
    In a drawer under the mirror
    Filled with empty promises
    I don't know why
    I keep letting you lie to me
    Hard as I try
    It seems I can't break away
    I thought that you would be the hero
    Come and save the day
    But you're a villain
    Your sins unforgiven

    I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
    In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
    Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
    The river of tears has washed me clean
    Go 'head and wish me well
    I'll cry a wishing well
    I'll fly before I fail
    I'll set sail and drift away
    So I won't need you here
    Love sinks and hope floats
    In a river of tears
    In a river of tears

    I catch your scent in every wind
    And I recall the love we had
    I can't pretend that I don't miss you
    Every now and then
    But the hurt is for the better
    Moving on, it's now or never
    Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
    Like there's a sea in my eyes
    I realize that sometimes life brings you flowers
    Then it builds you coffins
    And far too often
    We end up falling to our demise

    I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
    In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
    Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
    The river of tears has washed me clean
    Go 'head and wish me well
    I'll cry a wishing well
    I'll fly before I fail
    I'll set sail and drift away
    So I won't need you here
    Love sinks and hope floats
    In a river of tears
    In a river of tears

    Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
    I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me
    I'm glad to see everything that you are
    And I believe that you are everything I needed
    But I don't need no more

    I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
    In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
    Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
    The river of tears has washed me clean
    Go 'head and wish me well
    I'll cry a wishing well
    I'll fly before I fail
    I'll set sail and drift away
    So I won't need you here
    Love sinks and hope floats
    In a river of tears
    In a river of tears

    so i was listening to this song at the same time i was in my online Spanish class, so it was all soft and sad and all of a sudden I just heard "In A fOrMal SeTtiNg HoW COulD YoU AsK For mORe SaLT?" and it scared the crap out of me.
