How Do You Keep From Crying
How do you keep from crying
When the hurt runs so deep
And you don't want to be awake
But you just can't fall asleep?
No one ever told you
How fragile was the heart.
No one ever warned you
That life could fall apart
And leave you feeling lonely
Lost without your dreams,
Wondering and wandering,
To silent painful screams.
How do you keep from crying
When the hurt runs too deep
And you don't want to be awake
But you just can't fall asleep?
He had you believing
His love was true and real
Then mocked at your devotion
When you began to heal.
Each time there came a phone call,
A letter, or a sign
That someone else was loving him
So many other times.
How do you keep from crying
When the hurt runs river deep
And you don't want to be awake
But you just can't fall asleep?
All that now remains
Is a way to find some peace,
A way to stop remembering,
A way to find release.
You loved him more than life
You gave him all of you,
But now it's just a beer alone
Perhaps a pill or two.
