Tears

A song I wrote after the death of my brother. It tells the story of the loss I have felt in my life, and how the tears speak, louder than any words

I was so young, when we first met
Not quite ready to hurt
And as they dropped me off and turned away
Right then I knew, you'd always be there for me

You fought for so long,
That no one can deny
The pain was too much
You finally said goodbye

Tears roll down my face
Say the words time can't erase
Silent thru all these years
I whisper, I'll miss you with my falling tears

You meant so much to me,
We'd get drunk and live life so free
And on the roads we called our own' we had nuthin to lose
How was I to know, the end is what you'd choose

I was on the other end
No way it was pretend
You had to know, I would have carried you
How could u feel there was nothing left to do

Tears roll down my face
Show the pain time can't erase
Silent for all these years
And I'm hurting for you with my falling tears

The only thing we have in common,
 is a face and our name
But we've both done our best,
 to win at life's little game

The path you chose has many demons,
 some of which never gave you peace
Don't you ever question my reason daddy,
this is just my release

And as the sands of time they pass us by
And my emotions lie tattered
It isn't for you that I choose to cry
It's for the hope that you've shattered

Tears roll down my face
Say the words time can't replace
Silent for all these years
I scream how I hate you with my falling tears

I sit here, my head in my hands I start to cry
Asking the man upstairs, for just one reason why
U turned your life around, to be " a better man "
Why him god gimme just one reason why

In this room full of empty apologies,and so fake smiles
If this is what you get for giving your life to him
I think I'll stay here a while, just for a little while
