your tears never fall

you may say you've let your guard down,

that you're not perfect at all - 

but your phrases never falter,

and your tears, they never fall.

you can make it as you feel it,

if you must, slow to a crawl.

'cuz there's no comfort for no weakness

or for tears that never fall. 

yes, some cry for attention

and so humankind will see

that they're miserable and so forlorn

(over nothing, if you ask me),

and you don't want to be like that 

so you stand tall, stiff, and free.

but you're not free at all if you

can't let yourself just be.

so be it as you feel it, child,

take down the wretched wall

that keeps the world of others out,

my love, don't you recall

the days when you were cared for

and accepted, overall?

but now you've lost your faith in us,

and your tears never fall.
