LYRICS

I cry awake at night and hug my pillow
And pray that I will die before I wake
No such luck
Another day of cryin'
Don't know how much more my old heart can break
Flooded with these memories and emotions
The tears like rain keep on falling down
They say that I'll forget
But my face is just as wet
As it was the day you left this town

Drowning in this endless, endless
Drowning in an endless stream of tears
It's relentless and I'm defenseless
Drowning in an endless stream of tears

I can't believe that I can talk about it
I never thought I'd live to see this day
But a broken heart won't kill you
You just want to die
But you have to go on livin' anyway
I feel it through and through
And I've never been so blue
And I cried a river over you

Drowning in this endless, endless
Drowning in an endless stream of tears
It's relentless and I'm defenseless
Drowning in an endless stream of tears

Oh, I'm drowning in this endless, endless
Drowning in this endless, endless
Drowning in this endless, endless
Drowning in this endless stream of tears
