Tears of Joy

I dared to believe what you said in your sleep

But a master at this even lies under tears,

I never felt home in a life of regret,

Your embrace was so tight that I woke up at night.

I feel my tears of joy

Revealing my relief,

Finally home,

Finally home,

Finally here on my own!

I did speak out loud but my voice was too weak

So my whisper decayed in the silence you left,

Inhaling the truth, digesting the past

If one thing’s for sure then it’s that nothing will last.

I feel my tears of joy

Revealing my relief,

Finally home,

Finally home,

Finally here on my own!

Give back what you took, give our wounds time to heal,

My eyes remain closed, as I’m counting the days,

Now I’m paying the price for forsaking my strength,

The last thing I said was a bitter good-bye.
