See Me Cry
See Me Cry
Here comes that hurt around again
I feel but I can't see.
Your heart is withdrawing.
You're giving up on me.
There's no one to blame you
it's widely understood.
I'm here for just a while
but then I'm just no good.
The baggage we all carry
sometimes comes back around.
I'm never somewhere long enough
to lay my baggage down.
My hearts been broken often
I know your heart has too.
I guess when I'm no good for me
I'm no good for you.
Still I thought we had a chance
I didn't mean to waste your time.
Like sand out in a desert
or words to some old rhyme.
I'm sorry for all that I am
and for all that I might lack.
Please don't think I never cared
just because I don't look back.
If it helps you understand me
I'll share the reason why.
It's just that I care too much
to let you see me cry.
