Sleep Instead of Teardrops

Cry, cry out your eyes forever
It won't go away
I, I'm just a dumb observer
It's so stupid what I say

Like everyone else will do
I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes

And so
Nobody lives forever
The crassest of clichés
Like time
Time is the greatest healer
But it's a murderer today

Like everyone else will do
I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes

You know my holding you won't change anything
I can't stop this whole charade continuing
As each consoling kiss remains on your face like a stain

So cry
Cry out those tears and let them
Succumb to gravity
And try
Try as I might, I'll never
Fill that vacancy

Like everyone else will do
I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes

Someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
