This Is Why I Cry
I don’t know why
I have to cry these tears of shame inside
I feel these walls are crumbling down again…it’s alarming and appalling
I cannot deny
The fact that I miss you so much, I cried
I feel the sirens falling and hear them calling, wondering where I have been
I don’t know why
I have to cry these tears and you’re to blame
I conceal these fears of blazing fretfulness again with a frown…it’s tiring and so hopeless
I try my best, yes I try
To have faith and courage to move on from where I was before I turned into flame
I reveal to you my inner colors and you just swept them all away with negativity and distress
I’m falling away
I’m calling today
For the fear of the aftermath of my shame
For the tears I shed in this silent wars game
I’m falling away
I’m calling today
It appears that you don’t care anymore anyways and that’s okay
I give you cheer and you walk away with nightmares and I go astray
I don’t know why
I die every time I see your face that shines so bright
I feel these floors are shaking around me and I’m floating from on high…
High…high…high as a kite and my heart is beating with contrite, but I got to fight this fight with might
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
I don’t know why…
I try…I die inside and I cry…
I cry…these tears of wry…
I sigh in the wind of time
I am high in the sky; maybe some other lovely time,
You will be with me in such cruel, avarice times
I cry these vain tears and shed these fears sometimes
I try…I die inside and I cry…
I cry…these tears of goodbye…
I dry away the sorrowful grime
I am low in the ground…down and about this lonely time
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
I don’t know why…
But I got to keep trying to fight
This fight with my remaining might
