Teardrops...

I remember how it began
I had just told you that I had feelings for you
And you answered me saying words I never thought you would say
And now I'm hurt just because
I was stupid to think that you felt the same for me
I cry because I love you
I cry because I care for you
But we forget that in this world
everything has a price
and that even tear drops aren't free

You held my head in your arms
And you tried to caress the pain away
But no matter how much you wiped my eyes
or told me that there was someone else for me
You couldn't stop me from hurting
and as pain creates pain
and suffering creates suffering
It becames clear that we live in a world where everything has a price
and even teardrops aren't free

As I was standing there waving goodbye with the tears still fresh on my face
Watching you drive off into the distance
I try to remember every word you said
And I try to understand the price I'm paying as I spiraled into darkness of uncertainty
Leaving pieces of myself behind
Pieces that are mere tokens demanded by a world
Where everything has a price
and even teardrops aren't free

Now we're miles apart
And I haven't seen your face in years
But your pale blue eyes still haunt me evey night as I drift off to sleep
I hear you've moved on with your life
And that you've found someone else
One that only makes you smile
But I'm still crying
I'm still caressing the pain
And I'm still paying the toll claimed by this world
Where everything has a price
And even teardrops aren't free...
