The Same About Me

(For Marie)

A teardrop runs down my face
A teardrop that you can't see
A pain which I can't erase
Because this pain I feel inside of me

I can't eat a thing
I can't sleep a wink
What was it I did wrong?
Why can't I think?

So here I am alone
Missing you a lot
When will all this end
When will the pain stop

My life isn't so great
All my happiness is gone too
Everything is going wrong
And all I can think of is you

Everything seems so dark
My heart feels so cold
I must get back
the life of mine you stole

Is it you fault?
No, I can now see
It's not you I should blame
It's all because of me

I am such a monster
some very hideous thing
And yet through it all
you still wear my ring

I looked at you as my stomach tightened
I gave a woahful sigh
I hit the floor on my knees
But it was you that began to cry

You held up my head
As the tears dropped from you face
And I never thought to really
Put myself in your place

I regret not having
The forgiving heart you own
And now I must tell you
Something you must know

I had no idea that
you were feeling the same pain as I
I didn't want to hurt you
I didn't mean for you to cry

You saw into my eyes
as I looked at you and pleed
but you said that it was alright
and that you still loved me

My heart started to feel warm
Everything was suddenly so bright
And I looked in your eyes
And saw a beautiful angelic light

Now I know that you
are precious beyond belief
And I should have already known
that you feel the same about me
