tears 3

something wrong?

Tears, tears, tears
Go into the land of fear
Go into the land of underwhelm
and no reckon.

When tears dry, smiles don't arrive
Stay steady at your own free will.

But tears here and tears there,
Tears are everywhere
Alas when the heart cries out this bad
Something must be very wrong.
