Time Out To Cry

  1. TIME OUT TO CRY

    All alone at the end of the day
    The time, just a little past ten
    Evening has come for a short stay
    It’s time for her sorrow again
    The smile on her face she’s been holding
    Suddenly, she lets fall
    And the feelings begin unfolding
    She comes out of her personal wall
    As the world settles down for the night
    She awakens herself from a dream
    And the girl they all thought had her life going right
    Is no longer the image she’d seem
    She takes off the disguise she’s been wearing
    Then opens her heart to the truth
    Behind closed doors she’s not caring
    About life or love in her youth
    So she sits by the mirror spilling tears
    And cries by herself in the dark
    A whole day of acting like she has no fears
    Takes a lot from an empty heart
    Inside she’s lonely and sad
    But acts like she's fine in the day
    Revealing her misery, secretly wishing she had
    A friend, or a promise to stay
    She’s ashamed of the truth she’s been keeping
    Living her hours in daylight a lie
    And this is the reason for in darkness she’s weeping
    Taking time out from each day to cry
