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
