I told you
and the words didn't come as easily
as I thought they would.
All I wanted was
to spare you the hurt
you didn't spare me.

And you took them in,
Quiet and dignified
and broke me
as only you ever could.

C is a great guy, you tell me.
And we'll always be friends.
And nobody knows how much
I want those words to be truth.

Just when I think I have no more
tears for you
they start to fall.
But today I am stronger.
And I know you are too.

And I think that's all I want
to say about that.

*when i cry, i close my eyes/and every tear falls down inside/and i pray with all my might/that i will find my heart in someone's arms/when i cry*
