Lyrics Jason Robert Brown

Jason Robert Brown

She Cries

There's a couple of things I've learned

On the many roads I've taken

Flames are not what get you burned

It's the cold and the ice

Here's a piece of advice

I got from a little bird

The flames can get you

Stirred

It's the cold that leaves you shaken

I don't like to philosophize

I just want to tell a story

Always leave when a woman cries

Never look in a woman's eyes

You'll get stuck with a high and rising fever

And then you can't leave her

Please, don't wait man

It's almost too late man

She cries and you want to hold her

She lies and you want to run away

But just give her a minute

I promise you're in it to stay

She smiles and you'll stay forever

She screams

Well, that's the price you pay

But there's no one can make you

Forget how you feel

For all she can take

You've got more there to steal

So you don't mind a bit of surprise

And she cries

I don't like to admit I'm wrong

I believe in guts and glory

But it's time I should change my song

I've been here just a bit too long

Always thought I was much too strong for hating

And still I keep waiting...

And while I'm resolving

That door keeps revolving

She cries and you want to hold her

She lies and you're half way out the door

But you never can do it

She'll make you go through it once more

She smiles and you'll stay forever

She sings

Oh, she's got you now for sure

And each time that you swear

That you will not give in

She'll throw you a stare

That'll show you can't win

It's amazing how hard each man tries

But she cries

All of a sudden

You fall for her charms

You promise you'll stop all her tears

All of sudden

She's back in your arms

And the walls start closing

And blocking out the light

And changing all your dreams

And right before your eyes

She cries

And I don't know the answer

She spies

And there's no place I can hide

When I look in the mirror,

There's nothing but fear here inside

I run

And still she is right behind me

I fall

The chasm is too wide

So I'm stuck in this world of her magic mystique

Where I'll never be more than her toy of the week

But each time I prepare my goodbyes

Well, she catches me looking

And she opens the floodgates

And she cries
