Year by year, tear by tear
I try to smile, but a shy little tear
falls down my face slowly
mind knows better but to heart is clear
it misses you and it feels so lonely

And if missing you could be counted in tears
a drizzle would fall on your beautiful face
but as soon as one is out, on my lips it disappears
hiding my true pain without a trace

I put my lipstick on my fake smile to cover the pain
so everyone would think I am doing well, and I don't miss
you, but the minute I'm alone, it starts to ache again
though I beg the pain to stop killing me like this

Tear by tear, year by year, it goes on
with or without you seconds still count down
mind is at peace but the weak heart still longs
it is so hard for it to accept you are not the One
