Who Gets to See Your Tears

Verse 1 You say that you’re okay, and I pretend that I believe you. But sometimes I see something in your eyes that you don’t want to talk about. You’re always there for so many people, you listen when they need someone. But when you can’t keep going anymore, who will be there for you? Chorus Who gets to see the tears on your cheek? Who gets to see you when you’re no longer strong? When you close the door behind you and nobody knows what’s happening inside. Who gets to hold you without asking questions? Who gets to hear the things you never say out loud? I sometimes wonder if anyone really knows you, or if they only know the person you let them see. Verse 2 I know you have your reasons for not letting people get too close. Maybe life has taught you that it’s easier to stand on your own. But you don’t have to carry everything. You don’t have to explain every tear. Sometimes all you need is someone who stays, without trying to make everything better. Bridge And maybe it’s not my place to ask what makes you sad. But I wish you knew that you don’t have to hide from me. Final Chorus Who gets to see the tears on your cheek? Who sees you when you’re too tired to be strong? I can’t live your life for you, and I can’t take away everything that hurts. But if you ever need someone who will simply listen, I hope you know you don’t have to face it all alone.
