What I can never say

If I were to cry the tears in my eyes.
I don't know what they would do.
But I know it would mean I'm missing you.

If I were to sing
my words would be the truth.
Should I sing about love
it would come to you.

If I were to sing
my words would hold only the truth.
Pain in my voice and words
then pain would fall upon you.

If only
If only
I could ease your soul
with my words.

Then all the words I would sing
Then it would mean
you
would not have to go.

The tears that I shed
are meant for me.
They don't match the words
I have to sing.

This is the price I pay
for falling in love.
The curse my words would bring
I can never sing.

This is the last song I can sing for you.
This is all I can do.
For you
with love.
