Lyrics
I Am Not Afraid to Cry
The days are long
Lonely nights are bitter cold
Ever since that stormy day
You shook my dreams when you walked away
I should have known
No, it never did occur to me
Blink of an eye and my world would change
The sky would fall, and there was nothing left to say.
I am not afraid to cry, when the lights go down
I face the sadness; touch the rage, when there's no one else around
Dance with shadows of uncertainty
And it's all safe where no one else can see
Cause when the lights go down
I am not afraid to cry
Friends say I'm strong
Picked up the pieces, I carried on
They see this smile painted on my face
Makes them believe that I've got everything in place
Time takes its toll
Even the strongest will grows old
When I lay me down to sleep I pray
Lord, I'm tired of this masquerade
I am not afraid to cry, when the lights go down
I face the sadness; touch the rage, when there's no one else around
Dance with shadows of uncertainty
And it's all safe where no one else can see
Cause when the lights go down
I am not afraid to cry
I am not afraid to cry
When the lights go down
When there's no one else around
I am not afraid....to cry
