i’ve let them slip once
almost let it happen twice
you wiped every single one off
held me close to your chest
kissed me and asked me not to cry
now i see i made a mistake
i’ve seen how beautiful i look
especially when salty waters run down
my tears are not for everyone to see
’cause they don’t understand the feeling
they seem to always think it’s’ cause of sadness
my tears won’t come across your eyes
you’ll start to think that i’m not human
as i’ll only be smiling endlessly
