A Thousand Tears

I'm desperate for an ending
To get out of this unrequited romance
Watching the rules bending
Praying for a second glance

I'd give anything to be your angel
To tell you everything will be okay
All those words your mangled
In conversations that never seemed to stay

Your eyes are the color of a thousand tears
Reflecting much more than anyone can see
With enough confidence to fight off my fears
And less than enough courage to ask me

You promised never to fall for me
On the chance I'd tear your soul apart
They were all the same, it seemed
Angels breaking the windows of your heart

Every time I've cried for you
Waiting to hear your voice again
Even though you never knew
About the tangled mess I was in

We've stayed together through pillow fights
And through all your selfish lies
Waiting through sleepless nights
With a thousand tears in your eyes
