Two Tears.

I would have flown
Swum the ocean grey
If I had known
That in the bed you lay

You were two just tears away
From falling

How could I say
What I could not think inside
How could I beg
When my spirit had died?

How could I let you know
But darling, I let you know

Now I'm just two tears away
From falling

They say those who comfort you
Don't understand what troubles you
They say that tough love
Are just two words for greed

But sometimes tough love
With a tender touch, can I ask that much?
Is just, oh darling
Just what I need...

So I would have flown
Swum the ocean grey, all the way
If I had but known, like a stone
In that bed you lay

But I am still wasting
Still crying from tasting
That bitter pill alone

And still you don't know,

That I'm only two tears away
From falling.
