Countless Tears

You were the inspiration for a verse I wrote with hope
Despite the devastation, always thought that I could cope
The days are gone,
the weeks dragged on, and the months turned into years
Your invoice was long since marked paid with all those countless tears

Those countless tears, I loved you like a friend
Those countless tears, they never seem to end
Those countless tears, will never let me be,
It's a daily misery and you never seem to see

Stunning and impressive, you had me at hello
Passive and aggressive, you think by now I'd know
The best-laid plans of fools like me are crushed like grinding gears
The gift that keeps on giving, with all those countless tears

Those countless tears, when I hear you speak
Those countless tears, rolling down my cheek
Those countless tears, I can't call your bluff,
I'm made of weaker stuff, now, isn't that enough?

You sneak into my dreams each night, when I need you the most
The morning rain it waits for me I'm reaching for a ghost

I wish one day you'll wake up and admit where we went wrong
I promise then I'll never write another lovesick song
We'll come up with a game plan for our few remaining years
And leave it to some other souls to cry those countless tears

Those countless tears, I love you like a friend
Those countless tears, one day they have to end
Those countless tears, in love there is no shame,
Where there's a burning flame, my number's still the same
