cry

i can't let them see me cry
can't let them see stains on my cheek
never let them see tears fall from my eyes
never let anyone see me weak

i am strong when friends are not
the rock, so people say
no one knows about the tears I've fought
how I struggle to keep them at bay

i go to my room when I'm upset
lie on my bed and shut the door
it is only there that I will let
my guard down, and the tears pour

i know that god's counted every tear
and he wipes them from my cheek
he knows each lost dream and fear
one of few who's seen me weak

sometimes though, I need a friend
a rock of my very own
who can watch my tears fall without end
so I don't have to cry alone

this someone need not be strong
he can cry with me too
i know he'll never let me down
my love, my rock, it's you
