Lyrics for Too Many Tears

I picked the right one You picked the wrong one Days of confessing Nights spent obsessing Recently I've been walking home And take the long way through the rain Sit in the cafe, the cinema I watch the people making out I'm lost, I know it, I'm waiting for Some kind of message, some kind of break They say good things happen if you wait I get the river of tears to cross I once was a butterfly Me and him were the golden guy You wanna be with a lot of fun Can you believe it all went wrong? I picked the right one You picked the wrong one Days of confessing Nights spent obsessing, woo! Where did all the people go (Where did they go?) 'Cause when you break that's when you know (Whoa, whoa) Who's on your side and who's with him And all the rubbish that's in between I didn't mean to make me cry You took the love and let it die There's a place where love remains I'm gonna find it and there I'll stay There I'm gonna stay The little dried off streams on my face Are painting a hard show Just between myself and the mirror I am a lonely soul Oh but I try to overcome Oh and I'm feeling numb I listen to my friends' advice But it all falls flat When I finally see her with him That's when I know Oh, I should let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go I need something to make this right I'm out of faith, I'm out of life I join a lonely heart's ka-bang Banging the drum for a different guy We'll listen to me wanna die This kinda thing's just not my bag They wanted me to be a king They brought me up to fight and win
