Track 13: The Tears II

"The Tears II"

[Jack Wolf]

I don't understand why you're still crying

I ask your reasons, but you keep lying

I still have feelings, I'm still a human being

Tell me what haunts you in me, it's okay

I won't scream back if you give me your embrace

I wanna hear you say you're proud of me someday

But you keep wanting my new "me" to stay away

Away from your heart, your soul and your grace

I just wanted to breathe and now all I can do is pray

I know your God would never accept someone like me

But I believe He loves me if I'm a good kid

And every tear of you after you found out the truth

It's like a knife in my heart and I know you know it too

In my mind, we both did something wrong

But I'm the only destructive guilty in your head

I should hate you for leaving me alone, but I still love you instead

My car's radio plays that song I used to sing before

Before telling you the truth and causing all this storm

Wish you could hear my lionheart screaming that roar

Do you want to hear me roar?

Don't be afraid of the tears, the tears

Let them fall free from your eyes

'Cause although you don't know if it's wrong or right

Tears are the best way to set your agony free

You say you're afraid of losing me to the world

But you don't see you already lost me to your ignorance

Don't you see you lost me to what you believe it's true?

Don't you see you lost me to your own prejudice?

Oh, why can't we go back to the good days of us

When we used to have fun on mall all night long?

You know you don't need to dry these tears right now

You know you can just celebrate the life driving with me around

Don't be afraid of the tears

In my head, we both did something bad

In my head, this bad blood isn't fair
