I’m going to open and say this one is not about him. This is actually one of my all time favorites( but not my absolute favorite) and I wrote this for my friend Danielle and it’s just to explain that love does exist, that love is possible, that love is wonderful, but more importantly, love isn’t always easy and isn’t a game or toy to play around with.
You say that you love me
You say that you care
And don’t want me to cry
Or is it another lie
I don’t know of the truth
I haven’t the slightest clue
And would I then know,
If I said “I love you”
I used to make you smile
With joy and harmony
And now how it’s in your eye
Deep fear, and lonely
But in my eyes I hold
The tears I hope to cry
Which are the ones that’ll never fall
And in time they will stay
Never dwind’ling away
Many words that have come
From your lips and of his
Reminds me just of why;
I have these tears I’ll never cry
If I do then let them fall
Will you hold me in your arms?
Like you have won a prize?
Or steal my heart away
And tear it in a rage?
For you push me away
For the tears I’ll never cry
And then will I let down
A silent no-end song
And from my eyes will sing—
The Tears I’ll Never Cry
Broken I shall not stand
And diminished I refuse to fall
Lies i know I’ll face
So flee do I with haste
I watch you from afar
With envy in your eye
While you watch me in his arms
With his heart around mine
From a distance I see your tears
The tears that are not real
And for them I withhold
The tears I’ll never cry
He tells me to move on
He tugs gent’ly at my heart
But some way I can’t accept
The doubt that’s of “Could’ve Been”
And so from there I flee
An angel in form, and kind
And to your heart I stop;
To knock at its open door
In the mid’le I stand
Looking at the both;
And I don’t know where to turn
Just maybe there is hope—
And maybe a response
And one day I will cry—
The Tears I Shall Never Cry
