What happened to those tears you shed

Those nights when you'd cry

say his name and sigh

wonder why everything went sour

you say you're better now

but girl I know you're lying

you love him still

don't even try hiding the pain

because it's a bright red mark on your face

everyone can see the remains of your sleepless nights

and they wonder why

they don't even know that you're dying inside

or that you cry at night

and right now you'd be content to hold the knife

you won't flinch

it'll be easy

no one will notice

it will just be more red...
