Tears

The rain that is falling, comes from my eyes,
As it covers the world below.
I'm trying to understand why this is,
The path fate chose to go.

I thought that maybe, this just might be,
The love I've been looking for.
I guess I was wrong, how could I have thought,
That someone would consider me more.

I thought someday, that just maybe,
Someone would treat me as such.
But once again, I thought wrong,
How could I have figured as much.

I've given up, this time I learned,
That for me, love just doesn't work.
I guess I'll never find a guy,
Who doesn't act like a fucking jerk.
