I Cry

I cry

Sometimes I cry

For you for me

What could have been, what might could be

I cry

Sometimes I cry

For him for her

For dreams denied, for what comes after

Tears drown reason

Regardless of season

You used to hate winter

Now you go on a bender

Meet each day in a daze

In an alcohol haze

I’m not gonna lie

Sometimes I cry

The future’s uncertain

Ignore the man behind the curtain

Home is yours indeed

If life gives you what you need

A heart or courage or a brain

The scene plays out again and again

Ask and you shall receive

See there’s nothing up my sleeve

Tears may be a blessing

A special kind of cleansing

You know you should embrace it

Admit you never could replace it

But at the end of the day

I got one thing to say

And I’m not gonna lie

Sometimes I cry

I cry

Sometimes I cry

For you for me

What could have been, what might could be

I cry

Sometimes I cry

For him for her

For dreams denied, for what comes after

I cry
