Pretty When You Cry
He says to me
You're pretty when you cry
Go about my day like a shadow
Wandering from place to place
When the light is about to hit my face
I fade away
I disappear
He says to me
You're pretty when you cry
But I think I am lost here
He says to speak up
Join into the conversation
But I don't know the words
He says to me
You're pretty when you cry
Late night visits
When the sun has fallen
Descended into a thousand oceans
Never to be seen
I cannot breakdown
Even though I am broken
He says to me
You're pretty when you cry
He says you must not hide
Behind your silence anymore
Don't be afraid to share yourself
Give yourself to others
I think to myself
Do you know the weight of water?
What if they take everything?
They'll be nothing left but
He says to me
You're pretty when you cry
