Change the Tears

The past comes back too fast,

To fast for words,

To fast for tears,

Before you know it the day is gone,

And you don’t realise it’s been a year.

The past comes back too fast,

To fast for words,

To fast for tears,

It hits you like a gun to the chest,

And before you know it, the day is gone,

And those silent tears won’t come.

Nothing will be forgotten,

Especially not my brother,

He’ll be here forever,

When I swim,

When I play,

When I sing,

All the time,

He’s there.

One day, I’ll change my tears,

Into butterflies,

Or flowers,

To lay on your ashes.

One day, my tears will swap,

Into birds,

Or stars,

To keep you company above.

The past comes too fast,

To fast for words,

To fast for tears,

Hits you like a gun to the chest,

Nothing will be forgotten.
