you stand there laughing at my pain
my life's sorry, sad refrain

seeing you hurt, my heart strains
your lingering shadows, not yet slain

you are so quiet, seem to not care
I look into your eyes, see no tears there

and yet I do, your troubles I bear
tears I wouldn't show, wouldn't dare

then perhaps the slight smile I see
is your way of reminding me

I will just sit, listen, let you be
in the end, I'll help you be free
