I built a city around your name
Every building from a picture of the dreams I saved
All the rivers, they bring such life
And overflowing and leaving a wreck behind
All of the oaths I swore
Are failing a little more
I walk along the glassy shores
Every step is world away from
In the sky, an echoed voice
All of the oaths I swore
Are failing a little more
You were crying on my bed heartbroken
And yet I've never felt no closer
To you than I did that night
So I save a single tear every time I cry
(Time I cry, time I cry)
(Time I cry, time I cry)
(Time I cry, time I cry)
(Time I cry)
She wants to take you away from home
It's never simple when you can't blame no one
Hiding underneath your tongue
I've lost the chance to say, say anything now
No chance to say, say anything
You were crying on my bed heartbroken
And yet I've never felt no closer
To you than I did that night
So I save a single tear every time I cry
You hold her in your chest, still hoping
On another chance at fool's gold, oh
Shining on a darker night
So I save a single tear every time I cry
(Time I cry, time I cry)
(Time I cry, time I cry)
(Time I cry, time I cry)
♪
(Time I cry, time I cry)

You know there was a time that I'd die for you
Keep the bullet in my heart when you asked me to
Broke my arm and thought the pain would be all for you
So I save a single tear (though you won't be here)
Were you hoping that I'd cry when I saw you now?
All the love I had before came rushing out
It was an ocean so deep, that's been through a drought
So I save a single tear every time I cry
