Analysis of Life Time of Tears
Soaking wet from head to toe
I wait in the rain for a friend to show
Friends come friends go
But the one I am waiting for don't show
Clock keeps ticking
Mind keeps wondering
Rain keep drenching
Water drops coming down on my face
I can't tell if its rain or tears
I swallow my heart along with the raindrops and pride
Clock keeps ticking
Heart keeps beating
Tears keep drenching
With my head high
I walk back to my life and drive away from tears
