April Fool by Mya Byrne Lyrics

Wordless and weary, I took our good faith in vain
Begging your forgiveness, but it's hard to forget the pain
It's hard to get past the teardrops staining your cheek
Reflecting the moonlight
Like you're drawn in relief

I once saw a statue, sleeping under an iron truss
Tears stained his face but his sadness was only rust
I guess if you polished him those traces would disappear
But when it comes down to me and you
I fear they'll always be there

I see children playing little boy and little girl games
I wish we too were playing, pretending our teardrops were rain
Running inside, wet hair plastered to our necks
A romance we made up then broke
Just to forget

And in me you see a stranger, someone you thought you knew
Ink spilled, a quill collapsed on the last line of a picture you drew
Without a kind gesture, a warning, or even a gasp
A moment that wiping your tears could never put back
