I Don’t Want To Make You Cry

I don’t want to make you cry

I don’t want to make you sweat

Shed a tear

Or be afraid

 

I don’t want to make you hurt

I don’t want you to be in in pain

Crawl up inside

Or runaway

 

I don’t want to make you cry

I don’t want to make you hide

Become empty

Or scared

 

I don’t want to make you dive under

I don’t want to make you climb low

Surrender your self

Or remain silent

 

I don’t want to make you cry

Come home tonight

Let me inside

I’ve opened my heart

It stays ajar, for only so long

I don’t want to make you cry
