I Only Cry At Night

I Only Cry At Night
Late at night and the world is still and all is painted black
I will call your name the loudest I can and see if you answer back
And I don't cry, I'm a big girl now, I stay strong for you
But behind closed doors I break down, there's nothing better to do

Than light a candle and reminisce
And find a star and make your wish
And think of all the battles you have to fight
Well, I don't cry in front of you
I only cry at night
You could write to me every day and it wouldn't change a thing
I'd still be a hundred miles away trying to chase my dream
And I miss you more than anything but there's nothing I can do
But sit between these four walls, crying over you
So I'll light a candle and reminisce
And find a star and make my wish
And think of all the battles I have to fight
Well, I don't cry in front of you
And the strength you seem to think I have
It crumbles 'til it's gone
And the tears fall down like an angry sky
With my own shoulder to cry on
So I'll light a candle and reminisce
And find a star and make my wish
And think of all the battles I have to fight
I don't cry in front of you
Oh, I don't cry in front of you
I don't cry in front of you
I only cry at night
