Cry, Baby, Cry
Sing me a song
They tell me that I'm calm
(cry, baby, cry)
Inside roils a bomb
(cry, baby, cry)
Outside I wear a smile
(cry, baby, cry)
Heartbeat struggling meanwhile
(cry, baby, cry)
Night arrives once again no sleep
(cry, baby, cry)
Functioning thru depression deep
(cry, baby, cry)
Get in the car put my head on the wheel
(cry, baby, cry)
not giving up, my determination's real
(cry, baby, cry)
take a breath square my shoulders, then
(cry, baby, cry)
open the door and get to it again
(cry, baby, cry)
Some days so foggy I don't know my name
(cry, baby, cry)
I'll do my my best tho, just the same
(cry, baby, cry)
Folks may act like they don't have a care
(cry, baby, cry)
Don't ask how they're doing or they just might share
(cry, baby, cry)
It could be anyone, it could be you
(cry, baby, cry)
We don't know what another's going through.
(cry, baby, cry)
