THESE TEARS

By: jessi

YOU TOLD ME TO NEVER GET MAD
YOU TOLD ME TO NEVER BE BLUE
YOU TOLD ME TO FORGET THE PAST
TO THINK ONLY OF THE PRESENT AND YOU
YOU TOLD ME TO FORGET MY FEARS
YOU TOLD ME TO SEE THINGS YOUR WAY
YOU TAUGHT ME THINGS I'D NEVER UNDERSTOOD
YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO CHANGE
YOU TOLD ME ALL THINGS COME TO AN END
BUT WITH ME THAT WILL NEVER BE
IF EVER WE FIGHT OR DISAGREE
WE'LL WORK THINGS OUT
JUST YOU AND ME
YOU PROMISED NEVER TO HURT ME
YOU PROMISED TO NEVER LIE
I PROMISED TO TRUST YOU
AND I PROMISED NEVER TO CRY
SO THIS MOISTURE ON MY FACE IS NOT TEARS
IT'S WATER FROM THE RAIN
AND THIS LOOK ON MY FACE IS HAPPINESS
NOT PAIN
BUT HOW CAN I KEEP MY PROMISE
WHEN YOU BROKE YOUR WORD SO MANY TIMES
AND HOW CAN YOU LOOK AT ME WITH THOSE EYES
WHEN ALL YOU EVER DID IS LIE
I TRUSTED YOU
YOU BETRAYED ME
SO THESE TEARS I CRY NOT FOR YOU
BUT FOR THE SOUL INSIDE ME
THAT HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO
AND THESE TEARS I CRY ARE BROKEN PROMISES MADE BY YOU
