Jason Robert Brown - She Cries Lyrics
There's a couple of things I've learnedOn the many roads I've takenFlames are not what get you burnedIt's the cold and the iceHere's a piece of adviceI got from a little birdThe flames can get youStirredIt's the cold that leaves you shakenI don't like to philosophizeI just want to tell a storyAlways leave when a woman criesNever look in a woman's eyesYou'll get stuck with a high and rising feverAnd then you can't leave herPlease, don't wait manIt's almost too late manShe cries and you want to hold herShe lies and you want to run awayBut just give her a minuteI promise you're in it to stayShe smiles and you'll stay foreverShe screamsWell, that's the price you payBut there's no one can make youForget how you feelFor all she can takeYou've got more there to stealSo you don't mind a bit of surpriseAnd she criesI don't like to admit I'm wrongI believe in guts and gloryBut it's time I should change my songI've been here just a bit too longAlways thought I was much too strong for hatingAnd still I keep waiting...And while I'm resolvingThat door keeps revolvingShe cries and you want to hold herShe lies and you're half way out the doorBut you never can do itShe'll make you go through it once moreShe smiles and you'll stay foreverShe singsOh, she's got you now for sureAnd each time that you swearThat you will not give inShe'll throw you a stareThat'll show you can't winIt's amazing how hard each man triesBut she criesAll of a suddenYou fall for her charmsYou promise you'll stop all her tearsAll of suddenShe's back in your armsAnd the walls start closingAnd blocking out the lightAnd changing all your dreamsAnd right before your eyesShe criesAnd I don't know the answerShe spiesAnd there's no place I can hideWhen I look in the mirror,There's nothing but fear here insideI runAnd still she is right behind meI fallThe chasm is too wideSo I'm stuck in this world of her magic mystiqueWhere I'll never be more than her toy of the weekBut each time I prepare my goodbyesWell, she catches me lookingAnd she opens the floodgatesAnd she cries
