This was written about the same person as The Woman Of My Dreams
What can I say, my dreams have come crashing down and it's left me with

NOTHING BUT TEARS

The words keep echoing,
over and over in my head,
And I still can't believe,
that the last thing you did,
was swearing at me...
before leaving me with nothing but tears.

That night, after you had left,
I was the only one who saw the tears falling.
You never knew just how much I cried that night,
or about how much I'd cried after every single night,
that you had ever sworn at me.
But then... I don't blame you for not knowing.
Nobody knew, because I'd cried alone.
I didn't have you to hold me as I cried...
alone in the darkness...
I had nothing but tears.

You once said,
that you wanted to be with me forever
but now you said,
that you never wanted to talk to me again.
It broke my heart when you spoke that line,
and fell my soul with one harsh blow.
I don't know how long it will take me,
to fit my heart back together again,
and pick my soul up off the ground.
But I've done it before,
so I should be able to do it again...
or at least... I hope I'll be able to do it again...
even if this time you won't be here to help me...
even if this time, I'll have nothing but tears.

But this isn't how things were supposed to be,
it wasn't supposed to happen like this,
you weren't supposed to hate me,
and you weren't supposed to leave me,
it wasn't supposed to end in nothing but tears.

Why couldn't the world just break with my heart?
Then I wouldn't have to put my heart back together again.
Then I wouldn't have to pick my soul off of the floor.
And then I wouldn't have to feel all of this pain,
all of this hurting that won't go away.
The crying is supposed to make it better, isn't it?
"Just let it all out, that will make it all better"
isn't that what they say?
Then why am I still hurting as I cry?
Why won't the sobs make the pain go away?
Why doesn't the pain lessen with every tear that falls?
Why can't I do anything to make the pain go away?
All the crying still doesn't make the pain go away,
it doesn't bring you back,
and it doesn't heal me,
all it does is leave me... alone...
with nothing... but tears.
