Ever since I remember
I've held it in
Held it all

Somehow I felt comfortable
Behind my wall
Behind it all

This is why I don't cry
This is why I don't cry

Tears they only compromise
Things I need to visualize

This is why I don't cry
This is why I don't cry

Tears they only minimize
Everything I keep inside

I bet you think I'm lonely
You may be right
I just might

And if you want me to break down
It would be a sight
But not tonight

This is why I don't cry
This is why I don't cry

Tears they only compromise
Things I need to visualize

This is why I don't cry
This is why I don't cry

Tears they only minimize
Everything I keep inside
