Tears
If my tears could talk
They'd tell you what I cannot,
If my tears could talk,
All the time I have lost,
Where I lost myself along the way,
Dad's got an addiction,
Been running away for too long,
He hasn't been the same since i was little,
If my tears could talk,
I wonder what they'd say,
I used to be my mamma's little girl,
Now she's the villain in town.
If my tears could talk,
This is the story they would tell,
Listen closely as my tears begin to yell.
They have been quiet for too long,
When I look in the mirror,
I am the only one around.
I've been playing the same old game,
People looking down instead of up,
I wonder what is up with these grownups.
If my tears could talk,
I wonder what they would say.
