Why Cry lyrics

When I look at my reflection,

I wonder just what I see.

Do I make a good impression?

What do they all think of me?

Why cry? (Why cry?)

Why cry? (Why cry?)

Why cry when no one listens?

I (I try). But I try.

Why try so hard to fit in?

I see myself out in the action

when I think of what's to be.

Centering the main attraction,

it's so strange that they don't see.

Why? (Why cry?) 

Why cry? (Why cry?)

Why cry when no one listens?

I (I try). But I try.

Why try so hard to fit in?

You captured my heart,

you tore it apart.

There can be shadows in the dark,

black birds that don't fly

reaching up to the sky.

There's no turning back,

now it's do or die.

Baby, you say

when I cry, nobody listens.

But I try, I fly.

When I cry, nobody listens.

You can laugh and say I'm dreaming,

say I'm walking in my sleep,

but now I know my life has meaning.

Why can't they all just let me be?

Why cry? (Why cry?)

Why cry? (Why cry?)

Why cry when no one listens?

I (I try). But I try.

Why try so hard to fit in?

You captured my heart,

you tore it apart.

There can be shadows in the dark,

black birds that don't fly

reaching up to the sky.

There's no turning back,

now it's do or die.

Baby, you say

when I cry, nobody listens.

Why cry? 

Why cry when no one listens?

I, but I try.

Why try so hard to fit in?

(Why cry?) Why cry?

(Why cry?)

Why cry when no one listens?

I (I try). But I try.

Why try so hard to fit in?

(Why cry?)

(Why cry?)

(Why cry?)

(Why cry?)

(Why cry?)

(Why cry?)
