Did You See My Tear

Did you see my face when you walked away... All things promised fell apart and went their way... You couldn't turn around to see if I had a tear... Blame was spread and heartache was all too clear... Who used who was a question that covered both our faces... We shared the guilt and washed it away not leaving any traces... I turned around and watched you walk into another day... Left only to wonder if either one really ever had their say... My tears ran slow like a shadow on the wall... Words I couldn't scream, I was trying not to fall... But you still never saw my face to see if the pain was real... Just maybe we both ran away from a love too afraid to feel...
