I haven't cried in years
My cheekbones are aching
Trying to fight back tears
My eyes are stinging
I hate to cry
It's painful
I cry because you cry

I've dealt with pain my whole life
I've grown accustomed to it
I'm beginning to think maybe
It is meant to always be a part of me
Even if you become
Yet another source of pain
I deal with
It's who I am.
And it's what I must do
You know I'll always love you

Still it's strange
I had a sinking feeling
I knew something that I couldn't know
And I really don't know what to say

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever helps you sleep in peace
Whatever disassembles your nightmares
And  using the parts they are made from
Creates dreams
It's always in your head
And in your heart

My sweet angel
I wish I was holding you now
I wish that I was happy
You know I'll always love you

Please don't cry
