Elvis Costello
Why can't your music make me cry
Today I need to cry
It's all finally hitting me
The move, the divorce, the pain
Your music usually does the trick
I can't get one tear out
It hurts so much to not be
Able to cry after needing to
For so long, I just need to
Get it out of my system
I need to cry for an hour or so
I get your music
The lyrics hit my heart
The beats play in my head
I may not know all the words
But I understand them
Doesn't that count?
Can't you write a new song
Just for me,
ONe that when i listen to it
makes my mind go blank
and allow the tears to come
I guess I've just listened to your
Songs one to many times
For them to have an effect on me
One too many times have I been hurt
And you were there to console me
To reach out to me
And your lyrics put their arms around me
They wiped away my tears
They patted dry my nose
They made me weep
They made me look awful
They made me more human
They made me weak.
