• Don't you dare cry
    Don't you cry yourself to sleep
    Don't release the pain
    That's hidden so deep
    Don't you dare shed a tear
    Don't you dare let it show
    If he sees you weak once
    He'll never let it go

    You've never cried before, have you?
    In front of people you know?
    Have you ever cried so hard
    You wanted to scream to let them know?
    Yet you can't 'cause you know
    Show weakness once
    They'll never let it go

    Stop writing in a diary
    That no one will find
    Somebody cares that you've lost
    Something some people never find
    Let the words leak
    Someday, someone will find
    That you were heartbroken for so long
    That you never had enough time.

    He never loved you
    If he did, why'd he cheat?
    On your friend nonetheless
    He's just a lying cheat
    Yet the words that came
    So smoothly from his lips
    Made you think otherwise
    You couldn't catch the jist.

    7AM in the morning
    You wake up to find
    That no one loves you anymore
    Nothing to call 'mine'

    It's not working out
    Is what he said
    You reluctantly agreed
    Foolishly thinking at the top of your head
    That maybe, just maybe
    He'd retract those words
    That maybe, just maybe
    You never even heard those words.

    Record all those words
    Into the book that you own
    Cry yourself a river
    But don't let it show

    Yet you walk through the doors
    With a smile on your face
    Pretending like nothing's wrong
    When he broke you with a smile on his face

    He's just sitting in the corner
    Listening to you play
    As paranoid as you are
    You can't turn away

    Walk past him in the halls
    Don't look him in the eye
    Surely, if you look
    You'll break down and cry

    Take out the pen
    Write it down on the page
    Don't let your emotion
    Devour your strength


    He's like everyone else
    Who made you think it could be
    That love could be a reality
    All the broken pieces
    That were never found
    Shatter somewhere again
    Then you fall without a sound.

    Wake up to red, teary eyes
    I'd recognize those sniffles
    No matter how hard you try to hide
    You've dreamed about him, haven't you?
    Why else would you cry?
    Dreams are supposed to be sweet
    Please don't cry..

    Take out the pen
    Write out your dream
    Cry some more
    Go back to sleep..

    Now even you can't let it go
    The fact that your weak
    The fact that you've reached a breaking point
    Ready to admit defeat

    Wave the white flag
    High above your head
    Sulk your head down in shame
    And drown in your regrets

    One day you'll open up that diary
    Find all the tear stained pages and laugh
    Because that was once your reality
    It gets better, my friend
    I promise you
    Promise me that you won't end your life too soon.
