Lyrics

Verse I
There's a sadness in your eyes
I've never seen before
Or has it always been there
Like a small faded scar
One hidden in the depths
Of the beauty of who you are
Or is it, melancholy new
A fresher wound of woe
Left unclean without those tears
That you dam up and never show
And never show

Bridge I
Maybe the time has come
To let yourself weep
If you would just realize
Tears never make a man look weak

Chorus I
So if I held you close
Would you let them flow
I'd catch them up in a silver cup
Sip on them slow
So that if I caused even one of them
I'd choke on it and know

Verse II
Yes, there's a look of sorrow
I've never seen before
Has anyone else noticed
If they have, do they care
Because it hurts my heart
To think you're shrouded by despair
Such a kind, gentle soul you are
I'd rather lose my tongue
Than be the one who hurt you
No, I don't want to be that one

Bridge II
Babe, the time has come
To let yourself weep
If you would just realize
Tears never made a man look weak

Chorus
So if I hold you close
Will you let them flow
I'll catch them up in a silver cup
Sip on them slow
So that if I caused even one of them
I'll choke on it and know

Ending
So let them flow
I'll drink them up in a silver cup
And if I caused even one
I'll know
