Teardrops

Years ago I used to wander
Felt so wonky on my knees
I was feeling down and tired
Always looking for relief
And for a savior
Who'd finally raise my darkest thoughts
To the sun

I used my teardrops
To wash myself clean
I had no restrain
Now I won't be no more waiting in vain
I know that I won't miss my train

Yet the mood I'm in is frailty
You're my force and my despair
Will oblivion always help me
Will you always be fair?

How many black nights
Of cold and ice that stroke me right
To the bone

I shed my teardrops
To make more room inside and let you in
Scared by the thought of going insane
Those fears have been wasting my brain

Years ago I used to wander
Still I can't depend on you
But it's hard to make my own way.
