You Can't Cry


Do you ever wanna cry but the tears won't come?
For the fear, and the shame, and whats been done.
Do you ever wanna cry but the tears are drowned?
All you left with is an angry frown.
Do you ever wanna cry but the tears won't stream?
There's dried up rivers down your cheeks.
Theres an angry, spiteul, sorrow filled look in your eye,
And you just hope that by tommorow everything will be alright.
But you can't cry.
You can't cry.
And you don't know why.
