Why Should I Cry

Heather Headley

There's a time I felt I was blessed To be loved by you

But those blessings turn to regret from all the things you put me through

I remember at night you used to hold me till the sun rose the next day

Now you sleep and just turn away while my heart is on display

And I say...



Chorus:

Why should I cry one more night?

Why should I smile when it hurts inside?

Why does my heart say, get up and walk away

Why do I stay?

Why, why, why

(Repeat)



There's a reason why I cry every day

There's a reason why things don't go your way

There's a reason why I kneel down in pray

There's a reason why I'm still around today

Can't you see that I'm hurtin' eternally?

I need affection and good Lord therapy

I need you know as an urgent delivery

TO GET RID OF THE PAIN INSIDE OF ME



(Chorus, 2x)



Why should I put up lies?

Am I afraid to say goodbye?

I've loved you so, baby I can't deny

But now it's time to dry my eyes

It's Hard to think of what was changed when I feel like it was all in vain

Can't be right and feel this wrong

This heart of mine is just...



(Chorus, 3x)
