Every Tear (#YOWO)


Every tear that falls down

Every one that is shed

Is only here because of the blood you bled

The blood that took you

That kept me at bay

Oh how I wish you'd have stayed

But yet you were still torn away

By your own hand

Did I hold to tight

You said everything was right

I must have been blinded by the light

The light that I thought we had

I just wanted it to be alright but instead

You turned up dead

and now I may the same

Be takin into the dark

To relieve my heart of the pain

Before it tears my apart.
