You Used to Be the One to Wipe My Tears Away - ArlenaZara
The clock is ticking on the living room wall
I'm waiting for a footstep, waiting for a call
But the house is so quiet and the shadows are long
I am trying to figure out where we went wrong
I wrap my arms around myself in the dark
And feel the heavy beating of my broken heart
And I cry alone
With no one to hear
I'm drowning in the silence
I'm hiding my fear
You used to be the one to wipe my tears away
But you packed up your promises
And you couldn't stay
The world just keeps spinning
But I am made of stone
Because tonight I cry alone
I wonder if you're laughing somewhere out in the light
While I am just shivering in the middle of the night
My friends tell me I will be okay in the end
But they don't see the pieces that I have to mend
I put on a brave face when I walk out the door
But I collapse the second my feet hit the floor
There is no shoulder to lean on
No hand I can hold
Just the ghost of a love story
Left in the cold
I have to find a way to breathe through the pain
And wash away all memories in the pouring rain
Cuz I cry alone
With no one to hear
I'm drowning in the silence
I'm hiding my fear
You used to be the one to wipe my tears away
But you packed up your promises
And you couldn't stay
The world just keeps spinning
But I am made of stone
Because tonight I cry alone
All by myself
No one to dry my eyes
Just me and the goodbye
The silence is so loud
And I cry alone
