i used to get called a cry baby
so i trained my eyes to decieve
now im older and better at lying
covered in cracks that are never seen
i know i should let my guard down
but ive forgotten how to cry
because lifes always treated me kinder
when ive hidden my tears with a lie
and maybe im just scared
that if the floodgates are unlatched
the waters ive been damming
wont ever want to go back
