Time To Cry

Is to protect and serve my pride
You think I’ve been unkind
I just need time to cry
Can’t hush it up or make it right
Can’t tuck it in or say goodnight
Might as well leave on the light
I just need time to cry
I don’t want poetry
Or company
Or sound advice
Just time to cry
No pills or potions, remedies
No stories passed through families
Can heal this hurt in me
I just need time to cry
I don’t want poetry
Or company
Or sound advice
Just time to cry
By design, my alibi
Is to protect and serve my pride
You think I’ve been unkind
I just need time…
Time to cry
