Silent Tears
The silent tears are way too much to bear
These gut-wrenching sobs of mine
And all of this gasping for air
The tears on your cheeks are harder to see
When I realize that this pain in your eyes
Is what is really killing me
Desperate and alone we cling to each other
Wanting and hoping and screaming
For all this pain to be over
Tear stains on your cheeks hurt me so
Much more than even
That of my own
My will is much weaker than ever before
And although you hurt worse
I need you much more
So hold on to me, ever tighter now, dear
I can't bear all of this pain
Without you right here
These gut-wrenching sobs of mine
And all of this gasping for air
The tears on your cheeks are harder to see
When I realize that this pain in your eyes
Is what is really killing me
Desperate and alone we cling to each other
Wanting and hoping and screaming
For all this pain to be over
Tear stains on your cheeks hurt me so
Much more than even
That of my own
My will is much weaker than ever before
And although you hurt worse
I need you much more
So hold on to me, ever tighter now, dear
I can't bear all of this pain
Without you right here
