Alessia Cara – River Of Tears Chords

Still got the flowers that you sent, and the note you wrote that said 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 ahead 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 ahead 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 ahead 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
