The second time

The second time around 
you already know that you can
cry
when you've already done it 
you know you're meant to
break
You know the
pain
its an old friend- you expect the
suffering
you prepare the 
tears


the second time around
you already know you can
cry
when you've already done it
you know you're meant to
break
you know the
pain
its an old friend- you expect the
suffering
you prepare the
tears
