lyrics

LOVELY WHEN YOU CRY

I hate to see the tears in your eyes
Your trembling lip predicts stormy skies
Just cuz you smile, that’s no disguise
Still yer lovely when you cry

I hate to see the pain on your face
I’m struggling for words that might replace
The sticks and the stones that words can’t erase
Still yer lovely when you cry

Was it a memory or was it a fear
You muster your strength To hold back that tear
& when the dam breaks, the teardrop will fall
Still yer lovely when you cry

I hate to hear the doubt in your voice
Of making decisions when you had no choice
You’re straining for answers through all the white noise
Still yer lovely when you cry

Was it a memory or was it a fear
You muster your strength To hold back that tear
& when the dam breaks, the teardrop will fall
Still yer lovely when you cry

The water is rising, there’s cracks in the wall
You tightrope the levy even though you might fall
& when the dam breaks and baptizes all
still yer lovely when you cry
