From The Start

In the mornin', i hear an empty sound
Like a lonely highway, in a lonely town
Was it mercy, like a dog found in a road
Was it loneliness, i just gotta know

From the start, there's a tear in my heart
And it cries for the better things
From the start, there's a tear in my heart
And it's drippin' down the edges that were broken
From the start

Like a candle, in a summer rain
Will it kill the fire, will it douse the flame
Know the passion, can you feel the fire
Did you really want me, was it mere desire

From the start, there's a tear in my heart
And it cries for the better things

From the start, there's a tear in my heart
And it's drippin' down the edges that were broken

Like sugar held from a children's reach
Like the empty shells that was upon the beach
We were hoping we'd find our fortune there
But a fool's reward, something never shared

From the start, there's a tear in my heart
And it cries for the better things
From the start, we were drifting apart
With your eyes you would start to sing this sad song
From the start, there's a tear in my heart
And it's drippin' down the edges that were broken
