City of Tears

In the center of every teardrop

Is a city that's seldom seen

It's filled with pain and heartache

And everything in between

The streets are paved with promises

That's broken, from start to finish

The skies are filled with hopelessness

That hope cannot diminnish

Each teardrop holds a memory

That vanishes into air

Forgotten dreams fill the breeze

Like fog in the city square

In the square there stands a fountain

Its waters are filled with lies

Shattered smiles that turns to tears

Each time that someone cries

In the center of every teardrop

Is a city that reappears

Trapped inside a broken heart

That's called The City of Tears
