Intro:
This world will eat you alive.
You can't show hurt and pain.
Don't be so sensitive,
Hold it back or just refrain.
You dry those tears from your eyes,
Tough skin will help you maintain.
Remember what I said,
Let it sink into your brain.

Chorus
Why don't you ever cry?
Why don't shit bother you?
You can't be tough all the time.
Holding back will soon break you

Verse 1
I lie awake in bed.
Replaying whats been said to me.
Just lay here shaking my head.
I'm the way I've needed to be.
I smile when I need to,
Go stoic when I don't.
Could let you see what I feel.
Can't do it, so I won't.

Chorus
Why don't you ever cry?
Why don't shit bother you?
You can't be tough all the time.
Holding back will soon break you.

Verse 2
Can't break what has been broken.
Life has been really rough.
Some days I feel alright,
Other days I've had enough,
This world will eat you alive,
Even if you are so tough.

Chorus
Why don't you ever cry?
Why don't shit bother you?
You can't be tough all the time.
Holding back will soon break you

Outro
Who said I never cry?
I wish that shit was true.
I wipe the tears from my eyes.
You just can't see, but I do.
Make sure the moments right,
You look the other way.
I let it all fall down,
Then I wipe the pain away.
