Tears fall from her misty eye
Untold memories made her cry
Feeling of hurt, of pain and sorrow
Led her to think there would be no tomorrow

Eyes that say, “please talk to me,
I’ve got problems can’t you see?”
She wants to sob , to shout and wail,
But she can’t, the ship of feelings just won’t sail.

She’s afraid to let her emotions go
It’s a pretty big thing to show.
She just can’t afford to be hurt again.
And so she keeps them for another day or ten.

She’s still there under the cloudy sky
Waiting for a day that’ll make her sigh,
And tell the world that she’s now happy
Everything’s fine, don’t worry.
