I will cry you a river,
If it can turn back the hands of time,
Back to when everything was perfect.
Where are you now?
How could I have lost you in this void?
Oh can you hear me?
Each heartbeat resonates your name.
If tears could resolve this,
I will pour out an ocean from my eyes,
I will rip my heart out
And I will give it for you.
I know this,
It will take more than tears to heal this.
The gap is wide, the seal is thin.
My tears are wasted because you will never feel it,
Every drop disappears on the sand that hides your body.
Oh the curtains are closed!
Someone hold me,
It will take a lifetime to dry these tears,
It will take forever to heal this wound.
I could give me for you,
But you already gave you for me.
If tears could bring you back,
I will empty my body of its fluids,
But you are long gone behind the curtain.
I know you hear me,
But the chasm is too wide to bridge.
One regret tears me up,
I should have told you but I never did.
