You made me cry

you hurt my heart
I’ve seen you walking by

you’re beautiful like art
I wish you would just let me explain

the reason that I had to tell you
I’m tired of the hurt

from trying to not care
The tears in my eyes mean nothing

you pretend you don’t know me
Can’t you see me be being torn apart?

doesn’t that mean a thing?
I’ve cried my last tear for you

ready for what is true
I miss you so much

and I’m losing my crutch
