Lyrics:

In the mornin', I hear an empty sound
Like a lonely highway in a lonely town, whoa
Was it mercy, like a dog found in a road
Was it loneliness, I just gotta know, oh, oh

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, oh, will it douse the flame, whoa
Know the passion, can you feel the fire
Did you really want me, yeah, was it mere desire, oh, yeah

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 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
Whoa, yeah

Like the sugar held from children's reach
Like the empty shells washed upon the beach, whoa...
We were hoping we'd find our fortune there
But a fool's reward, something never shared, no...

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 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

Na, na, na, na-na-na, na, na, na
Na-na-na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na-na-na, na, na, na
Na-na-na, na, na, na, na, na
