One Tear Falls

One tear falls; I wipe away before they see

Before they get the chance to see the weakness inside of me

Because of my pride it is so difficult to reveal

It's so hard to show anyone, how I really feel



The heart in my chest may be breaking in two

But you won't ever see me shed a tear or cry in front of you

So I'll bury my feelings deep down inside again

They could resurface but I don't know where or when



I am scared of nothing but I always feel afraid

And from their critical eyes, I am trying to evade

Keeping what lies within me right where it belongs

Speaking to no one of my sad and lovely songs



I wanted to feel nothing and this wish is coming true

That's what happens when I try to hide myself away from you

I guess should feel sadder, now that I am turning numb

But when offered a life unfeeling, it's so easy to succumb



The pain is gone away now but the joy has left me too

I move about like a shadow with my vision all askew

This isn't what I wanted if I could I would feel fear

But I can't so what I'll shed for you is one small, simple tear.
