How come people laugh when they wanna cry tell me why people choose to leave and never to say goodbye How come people choose to lie How come people say they pray everyday The they sin and pretend that is all okay You may pray everyday for people to stay and when they leave you blame yourself and ask what you did That pain will be drilled into your brain everyday But when you are with others you laugh and pretend not to cry under closed covers Every night you ask the sky You pray for answer, for someone to tell you why And one day the sky will tell you not to cry He will tell you to keep digging to find the gold mine but when you open your eyes and look around you relize you already have Your family is here The ones who love you are you family not the ones who are by blood That is what it means to be loved Remember to say thank you for what you have and not to look and cry about what you don't

How come people laugh when they wanna cry tell me why people choose to leave and never to say goodbye How come people choose to lie How come people say they pray everyday The they sin and pretend that is all okay You may pray everyday for people to stay and when they leave you blame yourself and ask what you did That pain will be drilled into your brain everyday But when you are with others you laugh and pretend not to cry under closed covers Every night you ask the sky You pray for answer, for someone to tell you why And one day the sky will tell you not to cry He will tell you to keep digging to find the gold mine but when you open your eyes and look around you relize you already have Your family is here The ones who love you are you family not the ones who are by blood That is what it means to be loved Remember to say thank you for what you have and not to look and cry about what you don't
