Silent Tears

You’re lying there, crying

Crying your silent tears

You’re lying there, crying

Hoping no one hears

You’re kneeling there

That gun in your hand

And I scream for you

I scream for you to stop

You’re kneeling there

That gun in your hand

And I’m begging

Please, please stop

But you won’t stop

You won’t put away the gun

You won’t put it away

And look at me

You don’t see me

Don’t hear me

Or don’t want to

Why won’t you listen?

You’re sinking, you’re drowning

And there is nothing I can do

Nothing but fall to my knees

Crying those silent tears

Those silent tears

That you have cried

So many times

And I cry out to you

To anyone

Hoping they’ll hear,

But they don’t see me

Don’t hear me

Or don’t want to

Why won’t anyone listen?
