The Tears She Won't Shed


As I was passing by

I saw a girl with tears in her eyes

And I couldn’t bear it

 

I asked her why she wanted to cry

She said I have no more fight

And many things aren’t going right

And today I wasn’t scared to die

 

For no tears can stream from my eyes

But I can’t overcome them with Lies

And weakness in my heart multiplies

As I deal with things and don’t know why…

 

No more tears can I shed

And now she’s mad at what I said

Because that’s what her text read
