Tears To Come - Michael McDonald

They press our teardrops into diamonds They change our sorrows into gold They're gonna turn our blood to rubies We just need someone we can hold Got an issue but it's getting bigger and bigger In the beginning it was something minor Got a rat up in my kitchen and we gotta get rid of it So we're bringing in a tiger There's something inside her Thought you were blissful I heard you did it with a pink-handled pistol But sadness, it tend to latch on And it won't let go like a pitbull Don't even know if you left a note Should we blame the Depakote? Or vilify the Abilify? You were trying to find your vanilla sky Then you unravel Face down on rock bottom, fucking chewing gravel Because a human's so fragile. What can you do? They press our teardrops into diamonds They change our sorrows into gold They're gonna turn our blood to rubies We just need someone we can hold They press our teardrops into diamonds But they can't change our hearts to stone They're gonna turn our blood to rubies I know that we are not alone We are not alone I know it's sappy But I want my family to be happy Without becoming flatter than a sheet of paper An army of zombies, shuffling through a vapor But I know folks who found something beautiful And they credit the pharmaceuticals For slaying the demons that they're running from It might have saved their lives, and I'm one of 'em But there's a limit to the shit you can endure You get a prescription and you're thinking that it's pure But baby, maybe it's a problem when you got a problem And you get addicted to the cure The spike ain't no mystery We're any penny in a billion dollar industry And there's a motherfucker on living on the hill, pushing pills Stacking bills off our misery Had a teaspoon that's full of pain Woah-oh Got an ocean that's full of sorrow Had a teaspoon that's full of pain Woah-oh Got an ocean that's full of sorrow They press our teardrops into diamonds They change our sorrows into gold They're gonna turn our blood to rubies We just need someone we can hold (Ah-ahh-ahhh) They press our teardrops into diamonds (Ah-ahh-ahhh-ahh) But they can't change our hearts to stone (Ah-ahh-ahhh) They're gonna turn our blood to rubies (Ah-ahhhh-ahh) I know that we are not alone We are not alone
