I have a problem It isn’t a secret, but it isn’t something you’re likely to know You see, I can’t cry I try and I try But, the tears never come And my riverbeds stay dry
I don’t really remember when it started This isn't how I was before, I know But, did something happen? Is it something I’d rather forget?
Did I break? I don’t remember breaking But, I’m broken nonetheless
Are tears like glue? Could they fix what shattered? Am I scared that if I repair myself I’ll remember? Remember?
It’s not that I don’t want to cry It’s just that, the tears don’t flow They build up in my eyes, and it aches I want to cry… And it hurts
They say real men don’t cry Well, I guess that makes me a man I suppose I became a man years ago But, it wasn’t my time! I had no choice Just like that, I grew up And now I feel old, worn Tired, torn
Did I use all of them? Where did they go? And, what exactly made that river flow? All these thoughts and questions run through my mind The headache has already begun I want to cry But I can’t They- the tears They don’t flow Don’t flow Won’t flow Can’t flow
No one would suspect No one knows It’s not a secret But no one ever asks why you’re not crying
