Savage Garden - Tears Of Pearls Lyrics

And we stare each other down like victims in the grind.
Probing all the weaknesses 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.....These tears of oearls.

Well I could be a tired joker
pour my heart to get you in
sacrifice my happiness just so i could win.
Mybe 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.
