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
