Rain and tears, hand in hand... Love hurts when it goes wrong... (this isn't my own life experience, but i'm sure many will be able to relate to it...)
How can you walk away,
When I'm just standing here,
And there is so much to say.
My eyes cried out.
But you're just walking away
Pretending you don't know
What I'm about
Bitter taste of my pain
Is killing my heart
Trembling in the rain
I'm standing cold and feeling faint
But all you do
Is keep on walking away...
How can you put me through this
When you look into my crying eyes,
Feeling my heart breaking,
Me becoming just a half
Seeing my pain,
You do nothing but
Keep on walking away...
How could you leave me
Standing, crying out in the rain
You left me all alone,
All alone,
On that painfully unforgettable night
Whilst I cried, shrugging my shoulders,
Keeping track of my thoughts and
Trying to chase away my worries...
I walked alone slowly,
Down the wet road to loneliness
To the darkest place of my fears
Oh, how desperate my heart
Felt for comfort and love,
Just like my soul, all emptied out,
The rain kept falling,
Washing away the traces of the night...
Traces of my life....
As you walked away that time.
