Cryin'

porcheberry

Cryin'...
I'm cryin'...

My eyes can't see
what is in front of me any more.
Can't even hear myself.
Not tonight is all I can say.

And yet falling to my knees is all I can do.
Right now.
I'm cryin'.
Even as I'm trying so hard.
What can I achieve on my own?

I can't lift my head.
Too afraid to see what is in front of me.
But at least I can stand now.

I keep going...
And yet falling to my knees is all I can do.
Right now.
I'm cryin'.
Even as I'm trying so hard.
What can I achieve on my own?

I'll keep going.
Maybe I can lift my head.
