Why do I Cry?


Why do I cry on your shoulder

When I always seem so happy?

Is it something you said?

Did?

Didn’t do?

No.

I cry because I know you’ll be there,

Because you will hold me,

Because you will tell me everything is alright,

And that the pain will go away,

That this burden I bear is not mine alone,

And when it seems like noone else cares,

I can cry on your shoulder,

Because you love me,

Because I love you.
