Tears I'll Never Cry

To live consumed with passion
A life engulfed in flame
To live in hiding ‘neath my scars
And taking all the blame
You’ll never know the pain I felt
At hearing your goodbye
You’ll never know my hunger
Or the tears I’ll never cry.
You said that we made gravity
The night that we first met
But gravity is permanence and
You so soon forget

I’m not the type to sit and pine for
What I know cannot be mine, so
All I want to know is why
I’m filled with tears I’ll never cry.

A touch that soothed my troubled world
A kiss that reached inside
And found the hidden parts of me
The parts I tried to hide
I’ll find another, there’s no doubt and
He won’t make me cry
But thoughts of him will not compare to
Thoughts of you and I.

I’m not the type to sit and pine for
What I know cannot be mine, so
All I want to know is why
I’m filled with tears I’ll never cry.

The question you have left me with
Will eat away my soul
The mystery behind it all and
Why you let me go
I want to see you one last time
And taste your tender kiss
I want to feel your hand in mine
For you to tell me this-
Tell me it was all a joke
That you were never there
Tell me that you played a part
I think that’s only fair
Tell me that I’m obsolete, please
Tell me that I’m gone
Without your heart to sing to
Just existing here seems wrong.

I’m not the type to sit and pine for
What I know cannot be mine, so
All I want to know is why
I’m filled with tears I’ll never cry.

Do you think of me in passing?
As a soft, sweet melody?
For I recall that night in bed
You showed your heart to me
And in my naïve innocence
I bound myself to you
You cut my lines with sharpened blade
Before I even knew.

I’m not the type to sit and pine for
What I know cannot be mine, so
All I want to know is why
I’m filled with tears I’ll never cry.
