only tears are meant to fall
only once and that is all
and when you start to lose the fight
and nothing else will make it right

only hearts are meant to break
and when you make that last mistake
and everything you tried to say
but all the words got in the way

only god can hear you now                  
when you make that final vow               
say the words and say them loud           
say the words that make you proud          

and when you lose someone you depend upon
only tears will fall
and when you need a friend I will send you one
only tears are meant to fall   

only tears are meant to fall            
only once and that is all                  

only tears are meant to fall                
only once and that is all                 

only tears are meant to fall              
only once and that is all                

only tears are meant to fall
