Sometimes, when I'm trying
To pretend everything's alright,
Though, inside, I'm dying,
Someone sees my inner plight;
"Nigel...Are you crying?"
I manage to hold in the tears,
As if I thought their release,
Would spread the subject of my fears,
That will not leave me in peace.
That's why, when I'm sighing,
I will not confide in you-
When I feel like dying,
I'm afraid you'd feel it too.
"Nigel, please stop crying."
If I stop the pain from spreading,
By keeping it all within,
Then there's not a tear worth shedding.
"Are you crying Mr Finn?"
"No. I am not crying."
