Counting the Tears
I know that you miss me,
I can see you standing there
You keep looking for me,
Even though you know I'm not here
I see you look into the night,
Oh, how I wish that I could guide,
All the steps that you take...
But the only time I can come to you,
Is when you're not awake...
Even though I'm gone,
My heart still breaks...
Don't...forget...
Don't give in to your fears,
I will always love you,
And I am counting the tears,
As they fall down your face,
Oh, how I wish I could erase,
All of your pain...
But I am no longer with you,
Only my memory remains...
You are far stronger,
Than I ever knew you to be
I wish I had seen this
Too many second chances, wasted
Too afraid of my own pain,
I wouldn't face it
Drowning in a sea of fear,
Wishing I was never here
You were the only thing in my life,
That was clear
I made you turn away from me,
And, you disappeared...
But, you know that I was wrong,
All these feelings, inside,
I took too long
Always falling, I cry,
I wrote this song,
To tell you, it was real,
And I was wrong
Now you've moved on, so happy
And my only problem with it,
Is it's not with me
Drowning in a sea of tears,
Wishing you could only hear,
You were the one thing in my life,
That was clear
I made you turn away from me,
And, you disapp
I said I was ready,
But I was so wrong
I shouldn't have said it,
Because I wasn't strong
Strong enough to be this man
Strong enough to raise my head
Strong enough to feel proud
Strong enough to not drown
Do you feel the way I feel...?
Do you believe you can make yourself real?
Do you believe in what you're worth?
And are you ready to hurt...?
To get stronger?
As I get older, I get loud,
Never willing to back down
I know who I am, and who I was,
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I was scared, but now I'm brave,
As I wipe the tears from my face
I'm strong enough to feel alive...(I'm stronger)
So long ago, I could have died...(I'm
