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 pearls

We do it...oh we do it

Is love really the tragedy 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 pearls, 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

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

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
