Lyrics
Tears for souvenirs
Tears are not enough
Tears for shields and spears
Tears are not enough
Searching for certainty
When it's such an unstable world
Searching for something good
And I'm looking for the real McCoy
Blueprint: That says that boy meets girl
Picture: Girl meets boy
A blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl
Picture in a magazine
Yes, you've shown your feelings
Yes, you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough
Yes, you've shown your feelings
Yes, you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough
Slam that door, slap my face
But I don't love you anymore
Dry your eyes, sink or swim
You surmise, you can't win
We all make great mistakes
Blueprint: That says that boy meets girl
Picture: Girl meets boy
A blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl
Picture in a magazine
Yes, you've shown your feelings
Yes, you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough
Would I lie?
Should I lie?
Could I lie to you?
Excuses had their uses
But now they're all used up, all used up
Excuses had their uses
But now they're all used up, all used
Yes, you've shown your feelings
Yes, you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough
Yes, you've shown your feelings
Yes, you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough
Tears for souvenirs
Tears are not enough
Tears for shields and spears
