Yet I Am The Tears

By the time someone reads this
I will be left alone
By the time someone understands this
I will still be unknown

Yet I am the tears that threaten to fall
Yet I am the things that cannot begin to stop anymore
Yet I wait for the night to take away my time
Yet I cannot be a person without the flaw

By the time I make an effort
To see light in the day I no longer believe in
By the time I see what was
I would have lived through sin

Yet I am the tears that make pain
Yet I see trouble through my blood
Yet I still see people walking away
Yet I am lost in a flood

By the time someone understands
I will be gone
By the time I sit down and finish
I will have bled along

Yet I'll still wait for you to rescue me
Yet I'll sit there waiting for your hand
Yet I won't make you look my way
Yet I'll keep waiting for you to understand

By the time I make this call
And end what I promised so long ago
By the time you read this
You will all know

Yet I'll still sit there waiting for you
Yet I'll still wait for you to help me back
Yet I know you won't come for me anymore
Yet I know the days are still all black
