Different Tears
Do you recognize these teardrops,
That's flowing here once more?
My cheek's become their resting place
Like a thousand times before
My sleeves reach out in sympathy
To heal this liquid pain
But the scars stay hidden in silence
As the hurt begins to stain
You couldn't hear my heart break
But you can see it in my eyes
My tears bring forth the evidence
That my silent pain denies
Do these teardrops look familiar?
Each one feels the same
I'm tired of crying these reused tears
With only you to blame
You told me that you're sorry
But I've heard those words for years
It's time for me to say goodbye
And cry some different tears
