Sweat, Blood, And Tears

SWEAT, BLOOD, AND TEARS - Written by Carroll Bryant

To know it's tough is not enough 

So hard to say 

A bit of this is a bit too much 

Day after day

You pour it on and you pour it out 

You still find a way 

Showcase a love that is deep in doubt 

An empty display 

To sit and wonder

Wonder how we went under

Is no consolation to how I feel 

I cried sweat, blood, and tears

I should have known it would be in vain 

I cried sweat, blood, and tears

Such a pitiful shame 

I tried to run into the sun 

Eyes are so blind 

I didn't know that you were the one

Who would mess with my mind 

You gave it one and you gave it all

Time is but time 

You had your fun and you took the fall

What do you design? 

To have to worry

Worry about the hurry

Is no satisfaction to the unknown

I cried sweat, blood, and tears

I should have known it would be in vain 

I cried sweat, blood, and tears

Such a pitiful shame

What was to be is so hard to see

Or so they say that they know 

From coast to coast and sea to sea

On your tippy of toes 

Hanging up and or hanging in 

It's in the ozone 

Fool to lose and a fool to win

Another fool all alone 

To sit and wonder

Wonder how we went under

Is no consolation to how I feel 

I cried sweat, blood, and tears

I should have known it would be in vain 

I cried sweat, blood, and tears

Such a pitiful shame
