These tears, these tears
These tears, they won’t fall
These tears, they hurt so bad
Why?
Why me? Why now?
I wish you’d fall
Fall, so I can be free
It hurts, it hurts
Deep breaths, deep breaths
God sees me, God knows
Sigh
So I’ll try again
Deep breaths, deep breaths
Is that.. is that a tickle in my throat?
Ah
Finally
Finally, I feel it
My eyes, they sting
Finally, the tears are here
Thank you
Deep breaths, deep breaths
Everything will be just fine.
