A Lover's Tears

Tears rolling down my face
As I look out into space
Your face keeps swimming through my mind
I know true love I’ll never find
Even though you are so gentle and sweet
As kind as any guy could be
You have a girlfriend whom you love
The truth has come to me
You two will stay
And I hope you do
Until the very end
She makes you happy
As you do her
But my heart will never mend
So with tears rolling down my face
While I look out into space
With your face swimming through my mind
I know true I will not find
