This is why I Cried

There is a pain deep inside
and this is why I cried

'Cause every time I stop and think
I just seem to shrink

Shrink into the nothing I have become
Have I finally hit rock bottom?

There is a pain deep inside
And this is why I cried

Keep on laughing, keep on smiling
Keep on dialing the wrong number

Going everywhere, not gettin' anywhere
All I can tell you is beware

There is a pain deep inside
And this is why I cried

So many mistakes
Too many outbreaks

I can't make it go away
So I guess it's here to stay

There is a pain deep inside
And this is why I cried

Yes they'll have me, but will they keep me?
Because to tell the truth I'm not all that friendly

I don't mean it, I don't know Im doin' it
It's just so hard for me to commit

There is a pain deep inside
And this is why I cried

Keeps seeming like Im trying to laugh it all off
But it keeps coming back all too often

I'm so mixed up, so inside out
All I wanna do anymore is shout

There is a pain deep inside
And this is why I cried

There is a pain deep inside
And this is why I'm crying
