These tears I shed

Not because of you

But because I choose

To allow you

To make me feel used



These tears I shed

Not because I am hopeless

But because I profess

To paint myself in blue



These tears I shed

Because I am tired of tears

I am tired of lies

Now I am wise



These tears I shed

No longer stream

Down my cheeks

Held in my palm

Like soothing balm



These tears I shed

Are only a distant

Memory of the frequent

Times you let me down

When you were not around



These tears I shed

Have been converted

To something new

Something true

A new life without you
