Lyrics
A Single Tear
How was I to know he'd lied
Was I supposed to read his mind
Am I a fool or just naive
He's not the guy to share my dreams.
Premises and promises
A nod to doubting Thomases
Thoughts and themes forgotten schemes
Ways and Means Dramatic scenes
He insists we'll still be friends
Ain't got the heart can't pretend
Perhaps in time he'll come to see
What losing love has done to me
Providence or consequence
Dismissed for lack of evidence
Undoubtly I'll never see
That look of love It's killing me
Give me a chance show me a sign
Erase the clouds in my mind
I'll keep it simple I'll keep it clear
My Story's told in a Single Tear
