Tears From My Heart

by @willadean-wright

Take these tears from my heart                                 Shelter me from the storm                                The wind has blown away my scarf                                  Gather me babe... safe and warm                                     My eyes have seen experience                                   The thieves stole my love                                 And sold it for a clearance price                                  Oh, babe... I need a velvet glove                                       I have spent all my time                                     Searching for the perfect man                                   Now... I find no one to hold my hand                              You weaved me in your colored web                                      Shot my love inside your veins                                 You chose her time instead                                     Left me standing in the rain                                        I even got down on my knees                                    But you won't see the tears I cried                                        Baby... I even begged you, please                                      You looked me in my eyes and lied                                           In your eyes, I saw the fear                                      Your big excuse for running wild                                          That's when I want to pull you near                                                 And hold you like a little child                                She doesn't love you she only wants to put down                  She doesn't love you- she only wants to put you on the ground                                  You're having an affair with an addiction                                          You're reaching the point of no hope                                        You're having an affair with an addiction                                          You've got your spoon and your dope                                 Let her go set us free-let her go set us free                                   Let her go set us free-let her go set us free
