When you fall from grace,
it's hard to recall
that you still have a purpose,
that you're not nothing-at-all.
It's hard to accept
what you don't want to believe--
even harder to smile
when all you want is reprieve.
Yet you keep on trying
to give it your best,
'cause you know it's the only way
To let your heart rest.

Oh, it takes just one look to break you,
Crush your heart and complicate you---
And though the tears may shine
in your lost and lonely eyes,
you know there's only one thing to do,
to do what keeps you true to you:
save your tears until the sky cries.

When you lose your way
and can't see the light,
you need to trust the future
will show a path that's right--
though it's hard to trust
after all's been said and done,
so hard to believe in
anything under the sun.
Yet you keep on trying
to hope for the best,
'cause you know it's the only way
to let your soul rest.

Oh, it takes just one look to break you,
Crush your heart and complicate you---
And though the tears may shine
in your lost and lonely eyes,
you know there's only one thing to do,
to do what keeps you true to you:
save your tears until the sky cries.

It's a quiet pain,
It's a secret burden;
It's what you've promised yourself
that you'd let never see the light...
It's a crying shame,
It's a silent heartache;
It's something that you never want
another soul to see.

Oh, it takes just one look to break you,
Crush your heart and complicate you---
And though the tears may shine
in your lost and lonely eyes,
you know there's only one thing to do,
to do what keeps you true to you:
save your tears until the sky cries.
