You don't always have to act tough,
You don't always have to look rough
You don't always have to keep in the tears
The dam might break after keeping all your tears for all those years.
Darling, scream out in pain
It'll help you keep you sane.
Darling, you're not immune to pain
You don't need to act like you are.
Even the dauntless cry.
The pain and the tears remind you you're alive.

It'll help you keep you sane.
Darling, you're not immune to pain
You don't need to act like you are.
Even the dauntless cry.
The pain and the tears remind you you're alive.
