She Cries

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (8)

Time passes quickly for our lady of the hour  She brushes her long blonde hair  From her face only to find a tear  But she don’t know why she’s been crying She looks inside herself  To maybe find an answer  But she’s willingly distracted  By the man who like’s her glitter  She says, "fool, I ain’t gold." She don’t even know she cries cuz she’s so tangled up in lies In her head she plays a game  Pretending that she’s not the same lady who is cheating on her husband  With a man she hardly even knows  She says, "ignorance is bliss." But when he asks her name  She must fumble for an answer  She’s been called so many  But now she can’t remember  So she just makes up another And she don’t even know she cries cuz she’s so tangled up in lies Now the dirty deed is done  She heads into the bathroom  She washes her hands in the sink  And thinks it could clean her conscience  If only she could find one And slowly she turns and heads  For the door as if this were all a dream  She has seen her sweet husband’s face  But only like a fleeting glimse  Of all those bridges she’s been burning  All those bridges she’s been burning And she don’t even know she cries  It should come as no surprise  Cuz she’s so tangled up in lies
