If every tear fall
diminishes every pain
And cease to be a
mirror of one's soul's distress
If the amount of
tears shed for each heartbreak
Has a fixed volume,
proportional to the wound's depth
If every tear drop
would waste away every tragic memory
And delete the
heaviness each day
Then I can lie in
wait and hope
And spend some
waking moments drowning in tears
Then I can lie in
wait and hope
That one tomorrow I
would have drained it all
Then I can lie in
wait and hope
That one day tears
would stop to fall
