Single Tear

I built a city around your name Every building from a picture of the dreams I saved All the rivers they bring such life Then overflowing and leaving a wreck behind All of the oaths I swore Are failing a little more I walk along the glassy shores Every step is world away from In the sky an echoed voice With all of the oaths I swore Are failing a little more You were crying on my bed heartbroken And yet I’ve never felt no closer To than I did that night So I save a single tear every time I cry She wants to take you away from home It’s never simple when you can’t blame no one Hiding underneath your tongue I’ve lost the chance to say Say anything now No chance to say Say anything You were crying on my bed heartbroken And yet I’ve never felt no closer To than I did that night So I save a single tear every time I cry You hold her in your chest, still hoping On another chance at fool’s gold, oh Shining on a darker night So I save a single tear every time I cry You know there was a time that I'd die for you Keep the bullet in my heart like you asked me to Broke my arm and thought the pain would be all for you So I save a single tear (though you won't be here) Were you hoping that I'd cry when I saw you now? All the love I had before came rushing out It was an ocean so deep, that's been through a drought So I save a single tear every time I cry 💧
