There are people who think I lead
A kind of charmed life
With everything I need
No pain or strife
If only they knew
The absolute truth

The secrecy and lies
The bitter tears I've cried
The days when I can't hide
From hopelessness inside
The mad humiliation
Trying to be tough
The sudden implication
I wasn't good enough

After all that we've been through
Only tears can tell the truth

I'm not crying just for you
I'm crying for me
Look around and see
I'm crying for all of us
For the lack of communication
Secrets shared no longer
I gave no explanation
When I should have been much stronger
For watching you fall
In a classic mistake
For the first guy you slept with
Then being such a fake

After all that we've been thorgh
Only tears can tell the truth
I'm not crying just for me
I'm crying for you
What else can I do?
I'm crying for all of us

For the impossibility
Of love in world where sex
Is a cruel competitive sport
For the love that sex rejects

For losing your affection
Causing so much painI'm sorry that I hurt you
And never will again

For cruelty and lying
For getting off my head
It was easier than crying
But now look, someone's dead

After all that we've been through
Only tears can tell the truth

I'm not crying just for you
I'm crying for me
Look around and see

I'm crying for you
For me
For what we cannot be
For you
For me
Baby for all of us

For all of us
