Tears of the Heart

I’m crying tears of the heart
Not tears of the mind or soul
No, these are tears of the heart
The kind you can’t control
The kind you want to hold in
But you can’t even begin
To try because they’re gonna flow
With tears of the heart you have no control
You can’t keep them in or you’ll explode
Tears of the soul you can hide
Tears of the mind just aren’t cried
But tears of the heart you have to let out
That’s how I know without a doubt
That I’m crying tears of the heart

This is about the tears that you fight with to not fall but they trickle down anyways.

I was sad when I wrote it, and I hate it when you try really hard not to cry and it happens anyways, usually in front of someone that you don't want to see you cry. So I do what I usually do, write about it.
