Memories In Teardrops

Every song's a love song 
if you sing it from the heart
and every verse a tragedy 
We knew it from the start.
Now I sit in shadows 
waiting for you to find
that place in your in your heart 
where you hid a piece of mine.

Memories are like teardrops I hope they never go
one stains my dirty face the other hurts my soul.

Now you've left this world
left us far behind
searching for an answer 
I know we'll never find.
I've tried my best to lose it all,
everything I've ever felt
But the fire you lit inside my chest
can never be put out.

Memories are like teardrops they say they never go
one stains my dirty face, the other scars on my soul.

               ~  ~  ~

Promises are fairy tales
You never can believe
the words that come from someone's lips
when they say they'll never leave.

Such sad lyric. Very expressive, reaching out and knowing there is nothing there. Good writing!
