Stop Crying

Crying again
please stop the tears
at least out here
so open in the rain.

Keep them inside
inside your head
where only you know
exactly how you feel.

Don't let others
ever come inside.
Just keep them seperate
so they can't see.

Put them off with lies
Make it seem so bad
so bad living here
that they'll all just assume
that it's all a lie.
And when they find out
They'll stop there
just outside your head.

Just convince them
that everything you say
when you're drunk
or upset
is a lie.

They'll stop right there
and they'll never find out
what your life is really like.
They don't know the pain
the horror
behind the sweet little girl
The innocent liar.

Convince them the tears
are all just an act
you cry so easily
that they can't all be real.

They'll never know
that you can only cry
when you've had a bad night
a bad evening
a bad life.

Please stop crying
not out here
where people can see.
Save them till you get inside
where it's too dark to see.
