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
A 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

(Repeat)

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
A 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

(Repeat)

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