In the mornin', I hear an empty sound
Like a lonely highway, in a lonely town
Was it mercy, like a dog found in a road

Was it loneliness, I just gotta know

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


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


Like sugar held from a children's reach
Like the empty shells that was upon the beach
We were hoping we'd find our fortune there

But a fool's reward, something never shared

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's drippin' down the edges that were broken
