Trail of Tears Lyrics

Falling from an open sky
Fallen from the grace you gave so free
Who would want to cradle me?

Lying through my truest eyes
Lying here beside my dark desires
There's something I don't understand

You want me, you'll find me
Open for trust, trusted for love
Relying on faith, but faith's not enough
How long must I walk this trail of tears?

Moving what's before me
Nothing can disguise the things you see
Who would want to lay with me?

And after all the stars fall
And after all the dream has gone away
There's one thing I don't understand

You want me, you'll find me
Open for trust, trusted for love
Relying on faith, but faith's not enough
How long must I walk this trail of tears?

Open for trust, trusted for love
Relying on faith, but faith's not enough
No, faith's not enough

You want me
You want me, you'll find me (huh...)
Open for trust, trusted for love
Relying on faith, but faith's not enough
How long must I walk this trail of tears?

Open (open) for trust, trusted for love
Relying on faith, but faith's not enough (faith's not enough)
How long must I walk this trail of tears?

Lying through my truest eyes
Lying here beside my dark desires
There's something I don't understand

You want me, you'll find me
Open for trust, trusted for love

Open for trust, trusted for love
Relying on faith, but faith's not enough
No, faith's not enough

You want me
You want me, you'll find me (huh...)
Open for trust, trusted for love
Relying on faith, but faith's not enough
How long must I walk this trail of tears?

Open (open) for trust, trusted for love
Relying on faith, but faith's not enough (faith's not enough)
How long must I walk this trail of tears?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
