Crybaby
We’re always told there’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Turns out that was a lie.
He’s too deep for the ocean,
She’s too blue for the sky.
They’re too emotional
She can see the heavy tears fall from his eyes.
He knows.
Crybaby, crybaby, crybaby, cry
Crybaby, crybaby, why does she cry?
Is it because of the strawberry kisses and sunflower skies
He could see the truth that lies between her beautiful brown eyes.
She knows
She doesn’t believe in love,
She believes it’s just a disguise
For those who use
He doesn’t know how to love
That’s his excuse
“The feeling of love is just a mirage” she says
He thinks she is way above average
Their love is like
Frozen hearts next to unlit matches
Maybe he’s just an addict
For broken hearts
Peaceful nights filled with lonely stars
Virgin bodies filled with painful scars
Black and White is key
To amazing art
At least that’s what I’m told
Like the pot of gold
Now i say
Crybaby, crybaby, crybaby, cry
Crybaby , crybaby. Do you see why they cry?
