Cynthia Erivo - Tears

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

I can remember
How sadness became you
I wished I could save you
I took you in my arms

You cried
Oh 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
Oh 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

I can remember
How sadness became you
I wished I could save you
I took you in my arms

When you cried
Oh 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
Oh the tears you cried
You cried
Oh the tears you cried
The tears you cried

How many times do they come undone
How many times do they come undone
How many times do they come undone
How many times do they come undone
How many times do they come undone
How many times do they come undone
How many times do they come undone
How many times do they come undone
