A Tear Don't Lie



Tears that shed don't lie
My life is just what it is
I sit in silence all the time
You see I have no one by my side
To some you think I'm strong
But deep inside I'm weak
Broken down oh so deep
I see the depth of my lonely heart
My tears don't lie
I speak the truth
Always have and always will
I feel like there is no end to the tunnel
It looks like I will never see the light
So who am I, who do you see?
The one who thinks of everyone
But who really thinks about me
Only in their time of need
I see now what I am
I am not the one that will hold your hand
For you see I'm invincible
To the world no longer predictable
