I stood as tall as I could stand
Put on the best face I could put on
When at last I'm alone
I set that prisoner free
I'm gonna cry now
I'm gonna cry now
Sweet, sweet tears of misery
Falling straight down from me
Only broken pieces left inside
I'm about as shattered as a man can get
No one's seen the truth as yet
It's not for them to see
I'm gonna cry now
I'm gonna cry now
Sweet, sweet tears of misery
Falling straight down from me
Sometimes I can't hold on
When the sadness floods down on me
It's just that being alone
Has never been this sad and lonely
I don't know how to make this right
I keep looking for a peace I may never find
What I find as I lose my mind
You never lose some memories
I'm gonna cry now
I'm gonna cry now
Sweet, sweet tears of misery
Falling straight down from me
Sweet, sweet tears of misery
Falling straight down from me
