Following the lines built in my face
The tears that flow are no disgrace
They show a heart indeed is there
A place for feelings I cannot share
The proof of love I've been denied
Of emotions locked up deep inside
Many things will start the tears
Living without her and other fears
A scene some songs some words a place
Bring back the pictures of her face
When brought to mind the things I see
Go to my heart and bring pain to me
The gates they burst the waters flow
'Til again I accept what I already know
She's lost to me and she's left me alone
And alone I'll be 'til this feeling's gone
So I reach inside and find me a smile
I put it in place and I wear it in style
As I travel through life one day at a time
I take what comes but you know it's a crime
Things are going good and life seems grand
A button gets pushed and the good times end
The tears they flow all the pain it returns
For a future I sought and a love that burns
