Do I Have to Cry

Do I have to cry

In order to catch your eye

The love we hold precious

You now take for granted and I

Don't know what to do

I find I'm still loving you

But I'm just a fixture

You keep like a picture on the wall

Do I have to cry

To show what I feel inside

Friends try to console me

But words just can't hold me the way

Your arms used to do

When we'd love the whole night through

Still I'll keep a smile up

While tears seems to pile up inside

I thought true love

Was something that would never change

Like in the stories mama told

To put me off to sleep

Now I am wiser

Knowing nothing ever stays the same

But there are some of those fairy tales

You've got to keep

Or you might as well die

If love should return

And you don't know what do do

You don't have to run back

As long as you come back to me

And don't be surprised

If I should cry

Do I have to cry

Tell me do I have to cry

Tell me do I have to cry

Oh, do I have to cry
