Fistful Of Tears Lyrics
Maxwell
Lyrics
Feel just like a weight has lifted it
How can I repay you help me understand
Currency a fistful of tears I can afford
Fight of your life is not the cost
Time will reveal
All along you're the one who's losing
Cause I go insane
Crazy sometimes
Tryin you to keep you from losing your mind
Open your eyes
See what's in front of your face
Save me my fistful of tears
You can make it disappear girl
All you got to do is just raise up, face up, stay up
All things will heal we'll feel it with a kiss from the skies
Don't' you let it go
Don't' you let it go
Cause I go insane
Crazy sometimes
Tryin you to keep you from losing your mind
Open your eyes
See what's in front of your face
And save me my fistful of tears
We gon fight the war
We gon fight our fears
The only thing I wanna throw is a fistful of tears
We gon fight the war
We gon fight our fears
The only thing I gotta throw is a fistful of tears
We gon fight the war
We gon fight our fears
The only thing I wanna throw is a fistful of tears
Cause I go insane
Crazy sometimes
Tryin you to keep you from losing your mind
Open your eyes
See what's in front of your face
And save me my fistful of tears
Cause I go insane
Crazy sometimes
Tryin you to keep you from losing your mind
Open your eyes
See what's in front of your face
And save me my fistful of tears
