Black Eyeliner and Tears

It's never a pretty sight,

My eyeliner is all a smudge,

These tears I tried to fight,

When you were too quick to judge.

 

Darkest times never come at night.

With your love I fly so high.

Now I cry for nothing seems right.

I don't want to say good-bye.

 

You swept me away with your charm,

You blew me away with your love.

Why was it you I had to harm?

God please help me from above.

 

I wanna be with you through it all.

How can I prove that I'm the one?

On my knees I will crawl,

Just to be your only one.
