saved all my tears

saved all my tears for my pillow again
the breaking sobs, the rending pain
all crashes around me when the night falls
and quiet seeps in when darkness calls.

when morning comes,
my lungs seem to remember how to breathe
and the pain in my heart seems somehow relieved
the words to that song shouted aloud
and your name i heard through the crowd
all these things hide in the light of day
but when the sun goes down they come out to play

and I saved all my tears for my pillow again
the breaking sobs, the rending pain
all crashes around me when the night falls
and quiet seeps in when darkness calls.

when morning comes,
i find ways to chase away the demons in my mind
and though I miss you, I seem to always find
ways to not feel the gaping hole in my heart
and it seems that at moments it might start
to remember how to beat on it's own again
but i know that it might never be able to mend,

and, I saved all my tears for my pillow again
the breaking sobs, the rending pain
all crashes around me when the night falls
and quiet seeps in when darkness calls.

the stars used to be be my friends
but now their shining seems like malice
the cool of the evening used to be balm
but now my heart - it dreads the icy chill
the witching hour was my favorite
only now it's dreaded because....

i save all my tears for my pillow (now)
the breaking sobs, the rending pain
all rashes around me when the night falls
and the quiet seeps in when darkness calls.

Your voice used to come to stir my late hours
Memories like magic in the night air
Haunt me with gripping powers
and I can't let go, or move...
because each night...

I save my tears for my pillow again
the breaking sobs, the rending pain
all crashes around me when the night falls
and the quiet seeps in when darkness calls
