Tears of Pearls

And we stare each other down like victims in the grind
 Probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind
 And we cry the tears of pearl
 We do it, oh, we do it
 Is love really the tragedy of 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 pearl, so different and so rare
 But anger stole the jewels away, and love has left you bare
 Made you cry the tears of pearls
 Well, I could be the tired joker
 Pour my heart to get you in
 Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win
 Maybe cry these tears of pearls
 Oh, 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
 (Baby)
 C'mon darlin'
 Mm, mm, mm, mm, yeah
 All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
 Stolen pearl devotions
 We keep locked away from all the world
 All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
 Stolen pearl devotions
 We keep locked away from all the world
