Tears Like Yours

Tears Like Yours

You smiled and said, “we’ll be okay,”
Then turned around and walked away.
Now every step feels ten miles long,
And I’ve been quiet for too long.

They see me laugh, they see me shine,
But they don’t see what’s left behind.

'Cause I cry tears like yours,
The kind that no one can ignore.
They fall too deep, they cut too slow,
They speak of things I’ll never show.
No one hears when I break down,
But my heart still wears your crown.
And I cry tears like yours…
Tears that don’t wash you out.

I read the texts, then read them twice,
Pretending love could still be right.
But you’re a song I can’t replay,
It hurts too much to press "okay."

And though I say I’ve moved along,
I still bleed through every song.

'Cause I cry tears like yours,
The ones that memory restores.
They don’t forget, they don’t forgive,
They’re why I struggle just to live.
You may sleep without regret,
But I’m drowning in what’s left.
And I cry tears like yours…
Tears that don’t fade with time.

They say tears will make you clean—
But some tears just stain everything.

Yes, I cry tears like yours,
In every silence, behind closed doors.
You may have left, but I remain,
Wrapped in love that turned to pain.
You’ll forget, but I’ll endure…
Crying tears like yours.
