We all learn too early the world does us one over
We try to hold onto something sure
So I searched starless nights for someone to hold me
Believing I could hold on to her
She turned and asked me if I would be there forever
And I really wanted to be
I said all I can do is give you a shoulder
And you can bring all your tears to me
So she brought all her tears to me
She brings all her tears to me
And with all her tears she brought no tomorrows
And left today quietly
I learned too early I'd have to go it alone now
And do what I had to do
So leaving behind all that I have known I
Came here to be with you
Can I bring all my tears to you
All my tears to you
I need to pretend that it's not my shadow
And that you'll still be there when I'm through
I've walked away from a thousand reflections
Disbelieving what the mirror brings
And in the glass the only perfections
Were in the tears of joy when I sing
You can bring all your tears to me
Will you bring all your tears to me
When finished with our fear we go back to the mirror
And let go the irony
And finally let it be
Bring all your tears to me...
Bring all your tears to me...
