how many times will it rain
how many clouds, full, will pass over my head
how many pillows will i cry into
until i finally leave my bed

how can i stay sane
when i can't even stand to open my eyes
the rain keeps it dark anyway
i can barely tell morning from night

how can i look into your eyes
when my eyelashes are weighed down with raindrops
i peel through clouds for the sun
but the rain is nonstop

how many times will it rain
how many times will i lay crying in my bed
how many times will i not hate you for these tears
how many times will i love you instead
