I just couldn't say,'I'm sorry, I'm wrong.'
I could only think of the words to our song.
Our future that never came to be.
The tears that I cry are for you, for me.
The words that are so left unsaid,
Are running down my face instead.
Let not my heart speak the truth, pray do tell.
Hold your tongue fast, and unlove yourself.
Tears molded in crystals, you weep all alone,
As your tears tell the story of love, yet unborn.
The streams from your heart, your wet pillow holds,
A cry from the loneliest part of your soul.
A droplet of pain that the mirror can see,
As your face reaches out for some sympathy, please.
A wet, moist expression that words cannot lend,
When your unspoken feelings are playing pretend.
You can't find the words, but your eye's find a way,
For your tears are the words that the heart can't say.
