And it's not t

oo long before

point it out
          
I cannot cry
  
Because I know

 that's weakne

ss 
        
in your eyes


              
I'm forced to 

      
fake, a smile,

 a laugh
             
Every day of m

   
y life
              
My heart can't

 
 possibly brea

I heard you cr


y
              
Every night in

 
 your sleep
         
I was so young
              
You should hav

  
e known better

 
        
than to lean o

n me
            
You never thou

You just saw y

our pain
          
And now I cry
              
In the middle 

       
of the night
         
For the same d

amn thing
