the stars can see my tears tonight so why can't you

only the tissues catch my tears when I am blue

you always said you would steal all of my tears away

but they were still in my eyes the next day

could your heart not handle my pain that I carry

could your eyes not leave room for the tears I bury

one by one all we once were went down the drain

cause you always clog up every single vein



Chorus

stop suffocating me, taking away my air

cause I can only breathe when you are not there

I can't erase you out of my life

cause no matter how hard I try

you are always there crushing my spirit dead

what if I was suffocating you instead

then would you hear me screaming

screaming to break free



a messed up fairytale is what you gave me

filled with hopeless dreams I'll never see

my prince charming is nothing but a dark face

and kisses we used to share that I can no longer taste

laughs we used to share are nothing but a silent echo in my ear

and all you used to be is only present in each little tear

I hope you're satisfied with this mess you've made

like a lifeless rose you let our love just fade

chorus



I feel your footsteps lingering in the doorway

and your anger burns through me in every word you don't say

but my tears are invisible to your heart cause it doesn't want to see

what's it done and all the terrible pain it has caused me

and you're obsessed with telling me it's going to be okay

but every night when I say my amens when I pray

I know it's not and it's hard to breathe

cause I am drowning when you are with me

chorus
