I cannot cry with glasses on Cannot shake the tears out of my eyes Can’t drag them out by their hair With glasses on So I put my glasses on Because I cannot cry with glasses on And I do not want to be crying So I sit in front of my computer My fingers typing faster than my mind is racing Just to keep ahead of the game Because I cannot cry if I am working So I keep my to-do lists long And the obligations overflowing The pressure never ceasing Because I cannot cry if I am working I cannot cry if I am working Even if the working is hurting me Because I cannot cry if I am working I cannot cry if I am working I cannot hurt if I am working

I cannot cry if I am working
I cannot cry with glasses on Cannot shake the tears out of my eyes Can’t drag them out by their hair With glasses on So I put my glasses on Because I cannot cry with glasses on And I do not want to be crying So I sit in front of my computer My fingers typing faster than my mind is racing Just to keep ahead of the game Because I cannot cry if I am working So I keep my to-do lists long And the obligations overflowing The pressure never ceasing Because I cannot cry if I am working I cannot cry if I am working Even if the working is hurting me Because I cannot cry if I am working I cannot cry if I am working I cannot hurt if I am working
It's been a hard week. So I keep my glasses on. I keep on working
