only tears are meant to fall

only once and that is all

and when you start to lose the fight

and nothing else will make it right



only hearts are meant to break

and when you make that last mistake

and everything you tried to say

but all the words got in the way



only god can hear you now

when you make that final vow

say the words and say them loud

say the words that make you proud



and when you lose someone you depend upon

only tears will fall

and when you need a friend I will send you one

only tears are meant to fall



only tears are meant to fall

only once and that is all



only tears are meant to fall

only once and that is all



only tears are meant to fall

only once and that is all



only tears are meant to fall

only once and that is all
