I was so naive Fearful of the substantive Of the greying days Of carrying endless weight And what it really meant To truly mean something To really be someone who could be loved ♪ So lost in darkness In and out of selfishness Hoarding all my dreams Was just no way to be Then you gifted me such a precious thing A chance to be someone who deserved love When I heard A single tear Your cry ring out A single tear It showed me what A single tear Real strength could be A single tear As a single teardrop fell And was swallowed by the sea You outshined the best there was Rewrote who I could be You outshined the best there was Rewrote who I could be When I held you for the first time I knew I had to survive When I held you for the first time I knew I had to survive
As a single teardrop fell As a single teardrop fell ♪ As a single teardrop fell As a single teardrop fell
When I heard A single tear Your cry ring out A single tear It showed me what A single tear Real strength could be A single tear A single tear A single tear A single tear ♪ A single tear
