Who Say's Grown Men Don't Cry

I once sat beside a Man who tried with tears to make me understand

His Life you see would be empty of all meaning

If he were to be without me

I sat and watched as tears brought forth

And pleading eyes to me

All that was good and pure and kind

I once sat beside a Man who with tears in his eyes

Begged of me not to forsake him and the tears did urgently flow

As did the longing within me to believe

I blocked out the twinkle and the lies

And focused on his tear filled eyes

Yes I once sat beside a Man whose tears were shadowed by lies and deceit

But within my heart, I knew it wrought

But I needed to see and hear the false

I listen no more to tales of woe

And tears that flow in gentle drops that tell a tale

Of heartbreak and never stopped

Grown Men do cry you see when it's a tale of woe and misery

To get their way and have you believe that the lies they tell

Cut's them deep

I once sat beside a Man who dared to convince me that

It was just his way

The tears they were so genuine and sprang freely

But alas my tears did not affect him seemly
