The One Who Gets To Cry

I could sing about the pain
But I know that you would break
So I keep it in the past
And that's what I've always done
Sacrifice to build you up
And I will til I collapse
I say

It's
Alright
Don't cry

Tears in my eyes
Holding them back because I'm holding you
Play my
Part right
I'm your lifeline
Caught in the middle
Of myself and you

I, I don't wanna have to love you with a lie
Oh I, I just wanna be the one who gets to cry
You're broken you're human
But I can't keep choosing
To hold you up while I am falling down
I just wanna be the one who gets to cry
I wanna tell you
How you live is selfish
All the years you've taken
I can't get them back
I wanna help you
But you're so damn helpless
And my ground is shaking
How long can I put on the act?

Don't cry
Tears in my eyes
Holding them back because I'm holding you
Play my
Part right
I'm your lifeline
Caught in the middle
Of myself and you

I, I don't wanna have to love you with a lie
I, I just wanna be the one who gets to cry
You're broken you're human
But I can't keep choosing
To hold you up while I am falling down
I just wanna be the one who gets to cry

I wanna feel
I wanna heal
I wanna tear it all apart
I wanna hurt
I wanna burn
I wanna, ah
