Like Rain



I'd write this down if my hand would stop shaking

I'd laugh at myself but there's too much pain

From the moment I was born, my heart started breaking

I can only stare at you and your hair like rain



I still can't believe that I need you so much

I'd tell you myself but I have no words

I tried to show you once with a glance and a touch

But you didn't understand; you have not heard



So I've failed once again--that's nothing new

I live in desperation and too much pain

You're so beautiful with your hair so blue

I can only watch it fall around your face like rain



I know what you deserve and it's not me

You were meant to have the best and I'm too weak

I've resigned myself to a life of misery

I'd let you know my love but I can't speak



I long ago stopped wondering why

I have no release, I have only the pain

All my life I've been unable to cry

Bittersweet and blue--even you bring pain

I fail and fail again no matter how I try

You're so beautiful with your hair like rain

I can watch it fall around your face like rain
