Tears Will Fall

Silent watching from afar, her tears fall down like rain

No one sees her hide her eyes, no one sees her   pain

She sits and laughs and smiles away, hoping no one knows

What dark secrets she hides inside, or how far she will go

To see the one that she holds dear, the one who is in her heart

She pretends there is nothing there, inside she is torn apart

She knows that it may never come to pass, it may never come to be

And so she keeps it locked up tight, and hopes for some reprieve 

He holds her heart, He holds dreams she knows she can’t break free

She hopes deep down she never will, one day He will finally see

Until then the tears will fall inside her as she plays the part

And all the while she stop and smile, and slowly fall apart
