Girl, it hurts me to know you’re hurting

and there’s nothing I can do

I know the only reason you’re still smiling

is to keep your tears from falling,

but you don’t have to pretend with me

You don’t have to paint a smile on your face for anyone

Girl, I know your heart feels shattered

and it’s breaking my heart to see you this way,

to hear the crack in your voice 

as it begins to break

Tears are how your heart speaks

when your lips can't find the right words to say

So go ahead and cry now

knowing that you’ll be okay
