The only tear that slides down my cheek Speaks for the thousands That I only wish I could shed It leaves my face cold And it agitates me It leaves a stain upon my cheek Much like the stain I happen to call a heart The tear is like a ghostly caress Only instead of helping It intensifies my depression It itches on my face Like the itch upon my wrists That only the knife May satisfy.

The only tear that slides down my cheek Speaks for the thousands That I only wish I could shed It leaves my face cold And it agitates me It leaves a stain upon my cheek Much like the stain I happen to call a heart The tear is like a ghostly caress Only instead of helping It intensifies my depression It itches on my face Like the itch upon my wrists That only the knife May satisfy.
