Tears

Heartache is a different pain A cancer that grows inside Tears, the only known relief Like morphine when we've cried Tears can be addictive though This quiet liquid pain It calms our screams a little while But the heartaches still remain Don't waste your tears on bad mistakes You'll need them when it's right Or maybe to say, "I'm sorry" In the middle of some senseless fight Tears can take the pain away Though long it doesn't last It's long enough to heal your heart 'Til your hurt has finally passed Tears can cure a lot of things That's bottled up inside It heals the soul from the inside out So don't be ashamed you cried
