The Poetry of M - 15. Tears (From Brandon Smiling)

(Oh, NO! The key in the door! Your Mom’s home! Oh God no, what are we to do?

She’s found us out!)

I don't know what’s really happening

I wish that I did but I just don't

To me this is really frightening

It's so true and I wish it wasn’t

Now these Tears have just started falling

I can't stop and they keep coming

I can't hold them ba-ck

Even though I'm trying

Can't you see we've just been discovered

Secrets we tried to keep well covered

And so these tears come unhindered

Oh God, what am I to do?

(Spoken)

Discovered

Uncovered

Unhindered

Falling

Trying

Failing

Crying (2x)

Caught, we stand frozen and wondering

If we freeze she won't go noticing

How we have been secretly living

But in her eyes I see us breaking

Can't she know just what she has ruined

Has she no heart to see how we loved

Does she care or is she deluded

Oh God, what are we to do?

(Spoken)

The pain

she's caused

Does

she see it?

Can she see

my tears?

Does she

even care?

Does she

know better?

And

Will

she tell

my father?

I

can't know

I promise you that I won't go back

I nearly died for this boy of yours

I won't fall from this love that you lack

You won't take what can only be ours

See through my bitter tears your failure

What you have done is make a killing

What you seek to salvage you murder

Again, my heart is near to breaking

Why

Can't you

See my

Tears? (2x)

Why won't you see my Tears?

Why prove my darkest fears?

You'll leave me crushed for years.

Open up to my (Tears)! (2x)

It's not over!

Please believe us. (4x)

You

Can Stop

Our

Tears!

Love

Us more

And quell

Our fears

Believe

and Let

Us Be (2x)

Believe

and Let

Us Free (x2)

Why won't you see my Tears?

Why prove my darkest fears?

You'll leave me crushed for years.

Dry away all my (Tears)!

Why won't you see my Tears?

Why prove my darkest fears?

You'll leave me crushed for years.

Feel all of my (Tears)!

It’s not over!

Why prove my darkest fears?

You'll leave me crushed for years.

Open up to my (Tears)!!

Do you even care?

Why won't you see my Tears?

You'll leave me crushed for years.

Dry away all my Te—ars!
