One For Tears

"I carry with me some tissues, some tissues I save for my tears."

I carry with me some tissues,

some tissues I save for my tears.

I think about life passing all of us by, I think about wasted years;

I cannot stop my tears.

As the river I wish to live by,

My tears flow like there's no end in sight.

Try as I might, I fight and I fight but I cannot stop my tears.

The thought of the loss of the people I love has become something I deeply fear,

Though the loss of myself seems like nothing at all,

For myself, I wish I could shed one single tear.
