One Thousand Tears

One thousand tears
Pouring from my eyes
Trickling down my face
Caused by all of your lies
How I loved your touch
I also loved your face
Not to mention your smell
That didn’t stop you pack your suitcase
But no more will I cry,
Because I knew when you’d gone
You’d let us die
You’d left me by myself.
But now the laughs on you
You left for that other girl
And I thought I couldn’t get through
But I have, can’t you see?
You asked me if I was fine,
Well I must be fine because my heart’s still beating
And everyday I thank God
That I caught you cheating
Now I’ve met a wonderful guy
His name is Jack
And, isn’t it funny,
Now you want me back?
I’ll never get those tears back
That you made me cry
But it’s alright now because I know Jack
And he would never lie.
