Your Tears

(album: Just For The Times - 2021)

Bruises on a young mans knuckles
You know we find it hard to express ourselves
Clean hearts but we still find trouble
And we say we're alright when we know that we need help
Why do we find it so hard to speak?
Think if we share our problems, we're weak
Weight of the world on our shoulders to save our pride
Why do we find it so hard to talk?
Trapped in our mind, alone with our thoughts
Thinking we need someone to dry our eyes

I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away for you
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away for you

You feel so alone in a room full of people
So you put your front on and hide behind it
Who knew your own thoughts could be so lethal?
'Cause even when you're upset, you gotta keep on smiling
'Cause you're the man of the house
Can't shed a tear when your family's about
All built up so you're angrier now
Ranting that you ain't happy with the hand you were dealt
But you don't wanna be a burden
Can't let your loved ones see that you're hurting
Can't let my little girl see her dad cry
So now I'll just wipe these tears out my eyes

I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away for you
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away for you
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away for you
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away for you

You can feel so at home in a room full of people
But you put your front on and try to hide it
They say your own thoughts can be so peaceful
But even when you're upset, they'll never see you crying
'Cause you're the man of the house
Can't shed a tear when your family's about
All built up so you're angrier now
Ranting that you ain't happy with the hand you were dealt
But you don't wanna be a burden
Can't let your loved ones see that you're hurting
Can't let my little girl see her dad cry
Can somebody wipe these tears out my eyes?

It ain't that people don't care
It's like, how can you, how can you help me
If you don't actually genuinely understand, and that you, you don't get it?
But what I've found is, that people, when you are talking
People do actually, they do get it

I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away for you
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away for you
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away for you
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away for you
