1955

i saw your eyes and i didn't know what happened
but it stole my heart
i buried myself underneath the stars
looking towards the open sky
for a familiar face to answer my cry
i couldn't move or breathe
so i held on to everything
and made it worse when it was over
fifty five tears fell in silence
this happened every time i saw you
so i would walk away
hoping you wouldn't follow me
but you did
and i screamed with confusion
and screamed with anger
until you held my hurting heart
and the nights with violence move ever so fast
because i see your face
when my eyes close with the deepest pain
i'll pray that you'll hold me
and i'll pray that i can feel your arms around me
and when fifty-five tears fall in silence
i'll pray that you'll be here to wipe them away...
