Again I Cried
Last night I cried and to tell the truth
I really don't know why
Perhaps it was the loneliness
or the anger trapped inside
I cried because the things I want
seem like a distant dream
And no one really understands
the way I feel - it seems
I cried because I need someone
to whisper in my ear
"no matter what the problem is
you know I'll be right here"
I cried because I miss my mom
I miss her warm embrace
I couldn't stop the tears from rolling
swiftly down my face
I cried because it seems to me
I'm destined to be alone
or could it be unknowingly
I'm reaping bad seeds I've sown
Did I offend or take for granted
someone in my past
Could that be why I cannot find
a real love that will last
I guess I'll never understand
or find the reason why
But I do know that every now and then
I will break down and cry
