For You

Can you see my tears?
Do you believe they're true?
Can you see my tears?
Did you know that they're for you?

My tears are for the love that I cannot give,
The pain that I can't see.
My tears are for the lover that I wish I could be.

I cry because I can't have you,
You cry because you don't want me.
I cry because I love you,
I cry for what I cannot be.

I wish that I could take my heart,
And lock it up real tight.
So could never see my love again,
I know that it's not right.

I wish I didn't love you so,
But it's so plain to see,
No matter how hard you try,
You just can't get rid of me.

I cannot have your love,
I will wait for years.
I cannot have your love,
So I'll settle for your tears.

Here's a shoulder for your head,
A safe place for your heart.
I will be here to fix you,
Each time you fall apart.
