The Cup Can Catch the Tears

(Mike Melko & Jim Melko)

 

You've always been stifled in innocence

Burdened with your parents' cowardice

And that used to be okay

But now you feel you need to stray away

As soon as it's time to start

You got to tear your heart apart

 

Chorus

You look into your empty cup

You got to cry a few tears to fill it up

When that salt-stained figure's staring back at you

Your agony will begin anew

While the tears fall you might think you know

The storms won't stop, and your cup will overflow

But clutch that cup against despair and fear

The cup can catch the tears…

The cup can catch the tears....

 

Once your innocence is gone

You must confront the path you're on 'cause

All your life you've been taught

To tread the paths they make you walk

But now don't be afraid

You can find your own way

 

Repeat chorus

 

The path you carve

Could be decision-starved

And the urge will be strong

To ignore the wisest songs

But listening with an open mind

Will save you from those empty times

When your life feels like it’s not worth a dime….

 

Repeat chorus
