Analysis of Many Tears

Angela Crabtree 1982 (maine)



We have shared many tears and cried many cries.
 We have shared the look of love and lust.
 Our attraction it seems has become fatal yet we still linger
 Broken hearts and broken bones don't stop
 Late night visits to the hospital, hiding truth
 No one says a word, not you, not I
 Our love becomes undying and just
 Can't seem to stay away, not you, not I,

We have shared many tears and cried many cries
 We have shared love and loss
 Our attraction is no longer on the mend
 Running for our lives, you, and I
 Broken hearts and broken bones, we hide
 No one says a word, not you, not I
 Our love is just and undying

Our attraction is no longer on the mend
 Late night visits to the hospital hiding the truth
 No one knows what is truly happening
 We hide it all too well
 Broken hearts and broken bones, we run
 Take comfort in love that was never there
 We have shared many tears and cried many cries
