"Tears For Two" lyrics

"Tears For Two"
(from "South Of Heaven, West Of Hell" soundtrack)

Luck found me too late to be what I could use
And caught me tempting fate, still red handed and confused
Pride has sent me where there's not much left to lose
Then cruelly let me care and convinced me I could choose

About you, as if there was one small chance
To be through with everything I can't
So even if this worn-out heart was new
And all it's foolish hopes were true
This one lifetime just won't do
'Cause I cried enough tears for two

Dreaming only served to take my restless sleep
Steeling comfort from these eyes so desperate for relief
Fuelled by empty promises they never meant to keep
Leaving me with nothing more than endless years to weep

About you, as if there was one small chance
To be through with everything I can't
So even if this worn-out heart was new
And all it's foolish hopes were true
This one lifetime just won't do
'Cause I cried enough tears for two

About you, as if there was one small chance
To be through with everything I can't
So even if this worn-out heart was new
And all it's foolish hopes were true
This one lifetime just won't do
'Cause I cried enough tears for two
