Tears I Had to Leave Behind

[Verse]
I never had a storm break so near
Your trembling hands
Your falling tears
The room was quiet
But the silence screamed
It wasn’t real
Yet it wasn’t a dream

[Prechorus]
Your sobs were rivers
I couldn’t swim
I held you close
But the light grew dim

[Chorus]
I felt your tears
They carved through stone
But I had to leave
Had to go alone
I wish the world would stop
Rewind
But I left the tears I had to leave behind

[Verse 2]
Your breath hitched
A clock out of time
Each heartbeat begged for one more rhyme
I had no words
Just a fractured smile
A second felt like a thousand miles

[Bridge]
Was I a coward
Was I brave
To walk away from the love you gave
I hear your cries in every night
The echo fades
But it feels so right

[Chorus]
I felt your tears
They carved through stone
But I had to leave
Had to go alone
I wish the world would stop
Rewind
But I left the tears I had to leave behind
