if tears could change things.

because the sight of it blinds,
the sound deafens,
the thought burns.

because there's nothing you can do,
there's nothing you can change,
while it simply eats you away.

because it's hard to hold your stand,
when you don't know where's your land,
your heart and your men.

because it's harder when your lover's gone,
there's no one left to blame,
and no one to share the shame.

because you've jumped into the river,
too many times to make it home,
when you needed time all alone.

because there's too much to forget,
there's so much of you,
that i can never detach.

because we ain't got concrete hearts;
when a heart breaks,
it doesn't break even.

in this cold november rain,
maybe you need some time,
maybe you just need some time... all alone.

can you take the truth,
and stare it in the eye.
because i think, i still can't.
