Cryin'
You can listen to the song here: http://www.muziboo.com/mdegenhardt/music/cryin/
If you see me cry
It means you’re too close
Yet out of my world
You’ve hurt me the most
With a promise to love
That never came true
If you see me cry
It’s because of you
You can’t wipe these tears
As they’ll never cease
What I wished to happen
It will never be
You promised me rainbows
There’s no color to see
If you can’t love me back
Then it’s cryin’ for me
If you hear me cry
I hope you hurt too
It’s nothing you’ve done
It’s what you won’t do
I had hoped you would love me
A dream not coming true
If you hear me cry
It’s because of you
You can’t wipe these tears
As they’ll never cease
What I wished to happen
It never will be
You promised me rainbows
There’s no color to see
If you can’t love me back
Then it’s cryin’ for me
If tomorrow comes
And you’re not here
Then maybe I’ll stop
These useless tears
But for now you’re around
It hurts me to see
If you can’t love me back
then it’s cryin’ for me
