Just for once, I want to be allowed to cry
To give voice to that shuddering sigh
To be truthful, not having to lie
When inside I feel like I could die
When my broken wings no longer can fly

Just for once, I want to be weak
And let the tears roll down my cheek
When I fail to find what I seek
When prospects all seem bleak
When some call me a freak

Just for once, I want to be held at night
And told everything will be all right
When I feel like giving up the fight
And my pain has no end in sight
When in the darkness I see no light

Just for once, I want him to kiss away the tears
Brought from the depths by my darkest fears
For him to whisper sweet words in my ears
To just hold me till the morning light nears
And take away the pain of all these years

Just for once, I want to let it all out
Instead of being forced to stay stout
I want to give voice to all my doubt
Tell him what it's really all about
And cry for once...instead of shout
