Hope

A single tear falls to the floor I lift my eyes to meet his gaze Once more before he's through the door I tell him to go but I hope that he stays I lift my eyes to meet his gaze The face that set my world aright I tell him to go but I hope that he stays My leaden heart sinks but I stand out of spite The face that set my world aright So full of hope that I'll change my mind My leaden heart sinks but I stand out of spite His eyes betray fear and confusion that bind So full of hope that I'll change my mind But he still turns and leaves; there's no use anymore His eyes betray fear and confusion that bind A single tear falls to the floor
