Tears for souvenirs
Tears are not enough
Tears for shields and spears
Tears are not enough

Searching for certainty
When it's such an unstable world
Searching for something good
And I'm looking for the real mccoy

Blueprint, that says that boy meets girl
Picture, girl meets boy
blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl
Picture in a magazine

Yes you've shown your feelings
Yes you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough

Yes you've shown your feelings
Yes you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough

Slam that door, slap my face
But I don't love you anymore
Dry your eyes, sink or swim
You surmise, you can't win
We all make great mistakes

Blueprint, that says that boy meets girl
Picture, girl meets boy
blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl
Picture in a magazine

Yes you've shown your feelings
Yes you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough
Tears are not enough

Would I lie?
Should I lie?
Could I lie, to you?

Excuses had their uses
But now they're all used up, all used up
Excuses had their uses
But now they're all used up, all used

Yes you've shown your feelings
Yes you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough

Yes you've shown your feelings
Yes you've shown you're tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough

Tears for souvenirs
Tears are not enough
Tears for shields and spears
