When She Cries

Over the past week, a multitude of things have occurred that I want to and could write about.  But instead, tonight I decided to write a song.  I actually do this a lot - but I wanted to share this one.

I know many of you can relate.  I hope you enjoy.

Staring at a picture of a memory

It hurts her every day

But she just can’t put it away

Staring in the mirror she sees a girl

Who’s broken up inside

But the truth she has to hide

Every day she wakes up with a smile upon her face

But every night she lies in bed fighting demons she can’t erase

Sometimes she cries

When she don’t know what to say

Sometimes she cries

To wash the pain away

Don’t let her smile fool you

If you want to know what’s real

Just look into her blue eyes

When she cries

She makes it through the day

Putting one foot in front of the other

It’s the only way to keep up her cover

She falls asleep at night

With cheeks stained by tears

But the burning doesn’t take away her fears

Every day she wakes up saying ‘Today, I’m gonna let him go’

But every night she comes back to the only place her heart knows

Sometimes she cries

When she don’t know what to say

Sometimes she cries

To wash the pain away

Don’t let her smile fool you

If you want to know what’s real

Just look into her blue eyes

When she cries

She hides her secret world from everyone around

But if you look real hard you can hear her screams even if they don’t make a sound

They will never make a sound

Sometimes she cries

When she don’t know what to say

Sometimes she cries

To wash the pain away

Don’t let her smile fool you

If you want to know what’s real

Just look into her blue eyes

When she cries

Just look into her blue eyes… when she cries
