Selfish Tears

Waking up with tears on my face
next to an empty space
doesn't get any easier
maybe I really do like to be in pain 
I know the mere thought sounds insane 
but how else do you explain it
there are moments I start shaking 
it's like I can feel my heart breaking 
worse than ever before 
I don't want to do this anymore 
my own hurt pales in comparison 
considering all the lives lost
how can we say we value death 
when we turn tragedies into trends 
this must be where humanity ends
man do I feel pathetic 
crying as a result of my own sorrow 
when there's no promise of tomorrow 
not for any of us
why don't we share our tears
the way we share our cheers 
when something good happens for us
because that's what we all want 
something good to happen for us all
