Why So Many Tears


Almost every night I lay in my bed and cry as the tears fall I wish I at least knew why I try to come up with reasons in my head I think that maybe I'm just stressed Worried about school and becoming an adult about screwing things up and it all being my fault Worried that I'm making all of the important decisions wrong that one day I'll look up and all of the important people will be gone Or maybe my heart is just tired tired of the way it's been wired Maybe it's because of my hopeless romantic thing I keep giving the wrong people a piece It's tired of doing so much caring and not getting the same in exchange I think that maybe it's time for a change Maybe I should stop caring and when it comes to love be a lot less daring May I should just flip the script stop being so nice and become a complete bitch But unfortunately I can't just hang up my sensitive caring hat I can't not care, I'm just not wired like that So I'm forced to suffer for who I am I guess My mix of personality traits seems to keep me stressed See, because when you're a sensitive,stubborn, too nice, too caring, too trusting, hopeless romantic you tend to end up hurt You let the wrong people talk to you because you're too nice You don't listen to anyone trying to give you advice Then too soon you begin to trust them Then soon after that, you being to love them Then because you're stubborn and a hopeless romantic you push to make it perfect But you push too hard, and they leave, and they were never really worth it But because your sensitive you still have a broken heart And it seems you won't be able to stand being apart Maybe I cry because of all of these reasons combined But I think that it's time For the frequency to slow because I can't keep livin' life at this low
