These Tears I Cry

If I could I would

Take every single tear 

That you have ever cried

Mix them all with mine

Place them in my eyes

Then our tears together

I'd cry for both of us

Knowing you have had enough

To the point of giving up

Because this life can overwhelm

If you don't hold tight

That's why it is I cry

These tears from both our eyes
