Please don't tell me not to cry

Please don't tell me not to cry

Please don't say there was a reason why

You don't know what I am feeling

Or how much I hurt

The we spots are from tears on the collar of this shirt

You think I should go on with life

Forget about it and be strong

But deep down I am sad, and I don't want to go along

I don't expect you to understand why

For no apparent reason I break down and start to cry

My life has changed forever, you see

And that is why I am not the same ole me

So please don't try to act like nothing happened

Because it's changed my life forever

I will never be the same again

Not today, not tomorrow, but never

The best thing you can do for me is just be there

Just like always, my friend

My broken heart is hurting bad

And it will never mend
