Time won't make it
Easier to come to terms with.
When everything you ever had
You always failed to notice.
I am my mothers child.
Stronger for each and every
Single tear I ever cried.
Now and then
I forgive my sins, my only crime.
I have laid another low
Cut down in their prime.
So don't pretend we didn't try.
There's not much I can do
With my hands still tied.
The game's never fair when you're dealt a final blow,
But I don't think that you could ever make it on your own.
So we pretend that sticks and stones don't break our bones,
But the bruises will tell a different story we all know.
And I have said before,
I know there's nothing new behind that door.
For all I am, you still want far more.
And I don't think you know
How much I tried so hard to break the mould.
After all this time I try to hide,
For I know that cowboys don't cry.

For I know that cowboys don't cry.
I've tried my best to compromise,
But I don't want to,
I know I've got to,
Learn to dry these tears I've cried.
I don't think you know
How much I tried so hard to break the mould.
After all this time I try and hide,
For I know that cowboys don't cry.
