When all you want to do is cry


Sitting home alone in bed

a thought came into my head

When words run dry

all we can do is cry

Cry about what me miss

 and all the memorys we wish would go amiss

Just when you think something is right

someone goes and turns out the light

The light that keeps you going when you want to cry

but now all you can do is say goodbye

No matter what you think or want the oppossing is always right

even when your throat gets tight

and your words run dry

and you feel like you want to die

Believe in yourself and try

because remember, it's okay to cry
