I Have No Tears To Give To You

I have no tears to give to you In a world void of remorse I have no tears to give to you Because compassion’s a dead horse I have no tears to give to you For the bruises her boyfriend gave her I have no tears to give to you For the scared child craving a savior I have no tears to give to you For the father enclosed in a cell I have no tears to give to you For the mother raising her son in hell I have no tears to give to you When the boy befriends a gun I have no tears to give to you When a mother’s stripped of her son I have no tears to give to you Because they have drenched both of my sleeves They were all I had to offer you I guess I’m not as strong as I believed.
