There is a tear embedded in my heart
A lonely tear so cold and so dark
A tear is embedded and taken hold
A lonely tear fills my poor empty soul

There is a tear no one can see
A lonely tear sobs in deep misery
A tear with no hope for tomorrow
A lonely tear consumed in hopeless sorrow

There is a tear inside my tortured chest
A lonely tear longing for a gentle caress
A tear is shed for someone to hold
A lonely tear which I cannot control

There is a tear deep inside, so cold
A lonely tear has engulfed my soul
A tear which cries for someone to care
A lonely tear so full of despair

There is a tear which drowns my heart
A lonely tear for a world fallen apart
A tear has been cried with misery and pain
A lonely tear whose love was in vain.
