Teardrop Lullaby

“And just because she comes off strong, doesn’t mean she didn’t fall asleep crying. And even though she acts like nothing’s wrong, maybe she’s just really good at lying.”


Just as the sun sets for the night
She walks off into the early twilight
hoping that she’ll find the nerves to speak
yet her prospects are merely bleak
at your door she stands in shock
wondering why she’d want to knock
and as the rain fell from Heaven’s dome
she ran back crying to her home
she wonders why you can’t realize
it’s because of you that she cries
once again tonight she’ll sob and weep
like every night she’ll cry herself to sleep
her tears and the rain become her lullaby
until she feels no need to cry
it pains her everyday to have to face you
finishing the day not knowing what to do
and each night she goes out into the rain
torn and confused and filled with pain
and each night she ends up all the same
and thus you are somewhat to blame
so save her and hold her
because you’re the one she’d prefer
so be the one to light her sky
be the one her true lullaby
