Analysis of The Silver Lining
As this tear rolls down my face
It will be followed by much, much more
In my heart there is a space
Where there is one lonely broken door
This door used to get used
For love to come inside
But it was tampered and abused
So then that love had died
But seeing your face has brought light unto it
No more darkness and no more dying
There is love inside that pit
No more hurting and no more crying.
