Cry Like Somebody

You cry like somebody with nothing to cry about
Tears running down into your open mouth
Moaning like a dog that wants out
You cry like somebody who chose the road most traveled down
Who dreams of tennis skirts and wedding gowns
Like a kid who crumbled under every frown
When the moment calls for might
When your house of glass ignites
You’ll try to cry but wolf is all they’ll hear
You cry like somebody who never needed the tears
You cry like somebody who holds a candle to the night
Thinking you can summon back the light
Cause your troubles never put up a fight
If you’d known a bitter word
If you’d ever gone unheard
You’d have learned by now
To hold your head up when you pout
To cry like somebody with something to cry about
