I'Ll Save My Tears For Later

I don’t think you really mean it

 The angry words cloud the air
 Like I’ve really never seen it

 Gotta keep it in perspective
 Don’t wanna be a hater

 Gonna stow it somewhere safe
 And I’ll save my tears for later

 It’s hard to know the difference
 Perception is reality

 I’m just a witness to the pain
 That overtakes your personality

 But it feels meant for me
 And the hit has left a crater

 Gotta fill it now with love
 So I’ll save my tears for later
