I Only Cry At Night

[Verse 1]

Late at night and the world is still and all is painted black

I will call your name the loudest I can and see if you answer back

And I don't cry, I'm a big girl now, I stay strong for you

But behind closed doors I break down, there's nothing better to do

[Chorus]

Than light a candle and reminisce

And find a star and make your wish

And think of all the battles you have to fight

Well, I don't cry in front of you

I only cry at night

[Verse 2]

You could write to me every day and it wouldn't change a thing

I'd still be a hundred miles away trying to chase my dream

And I miss you more than anything but there's nothing I can do

But sit between these four walls, crying over you

[Chorus]

So I'll light a candle and reminisce

And find a star and make my wish

And think of all the battles I have to fight

Well, I don't cry in front of you

[Bridge]

And the strength you seem to think I have

It crumbles 'til it's gone

And the tears fall down like an angry sky

With my own shoulder to cry on

[Chorus]

So I'll light a candle and reminisce

And find a star and make my wish

And think of all the battles I have to fight

I don't cry in front of you

Oh, I don't cry in front of you

I don't cry in front of you

I only cry at night
