Terry Simpkin - Time To Cry Lyrics

When I was a little child, I never had time to cry
Kept it hidden deep inside, never faced the reasons why
We always followed the rules, living in a fog as time passed by
Of all those things we learned in school, we never learned to cry

Now we find we're on the edge of a world of fear and longing
Is confusion just a wedge till we find there's no bottom
I'd love a perfect life, well that would be so cool
I'd love a perfect world, where we would never have to choose

My life was paradise, and now there's lines around your eyes
Not sure we've got the time, the time to cry
I can see what's in your eyes. When did you notice the world stopped turning
Did it come as a surprise? Or were your memories burning

My life was paradise, and now there's lines around your eyes
Not sure we've got the time, the time to cry
What do we tell the little child, who'll never know what we do
Will we continue all the lies, that we were taught to

We always followed the rules, living in a fog as time passed by
Of all those things we learned in school, we never learned to cry
The mirror never lies, there's lines around your eyes
Not sure we've got the time, the time to cry
