Tears

I hate to watch the tears run down your cheeks

I know it might seem cruel of me to leave ya

I wish I could cry 'cause keeping it inside

It's never done anything good for me

It's not like I have a choice

I wish I had a pair of someone else's eyes

Then I could let go of my issues

Instead I'm left holding the blues

And with all the things that I've been through

I should be shedding tears almost every night

You say it's all inside my head

A twisted form of self defense

But why would I lie when keeping it inside

Feels like a knife's put through my chest?

It's not like I have a choice

I wish I had a pair of someone else's eyes

Then I could let go of my issues

Instead I'm left holding the blues

And with all the things that I've been through

I should be shedding tears almost every night
