Three Tears

Karaoke hits the first few beats and I’m already misty eyed
Thoughts run right to you without much effort these days
I think about you all the time

Lately my mind seems to rush through thoughts
That is until it comes to you
Then I can’t get it to move fast enough

To keep the tears from coming on.

I never felt your true love
For this I fill with regrets
You tried so hard to give it to me

I wore you out trying to get it
Trying to come to some sense
Of what it really feels like to be loved

And still I felt alone and empty inside.

With each of the three tears I cry
One for joy
One for pain
One for loss

The one I cry most of all is for you.
