You Don’t Deserve My Tears
You don't deserve my tears,
They are golden, precious.
They should only be shed in the most meaningful moments.
They are not to be taken for granted,
Nor should they be wasted on you,
Who can’t fathom the magnitude of my emotions,
And the depth of my love.
I deserve all the blessings of joy
Not the pains you bring upon me
My self needs my compassion
Not your dishonest ways.
You don't deserve my heart,
You only showered it with lies.
I deserve honesty and loyalty,
Not manipulated speech and lyrics.
You don't deserve my tears,
I'll not shed them over you.
My heart no longer hears,
What my soul once knew.
No longer am I bound,
In the ties of love we shared.
So I leave no regrets,
Nor any debt declared.
My dreams no longer burn,
Lingering thoughts of you.
The future I now discern,
No longer in pain, I'm through.
So I'll move with the wind,
No more tears you'll see.
Your heart I can't mend,
Nor yours, for me.
