1Not even the metallic shredding of the train
Could ever cut into the pain
A distressing silence that wounds the heart
Left feeling as if it had been filled with lead
You're just so pretty in your pain
Feeling the tears
Trickle down
Swipe at them feebly
You're just so pretty in your pain
People don't cry
Not when they're sad
Everyone seems to believe that
But it's never been true
People only cry
When they're frustrated
Or when they're overwhelmed
You're just so pretty in your pain
It's so difficult to cry
To let ourselves feel something
Apart from the everyday mundane
You're just so pretty in your pain
When we get down to the source
Of why it's so hard to cry
It's survival - simply survival
You're just so pretty in your pain
Can't show the tears
Don't want to appear weak
So we laugh to cover it up
You're just so pretty in your pain
We try so hard not shed tears
It is a surrender of the body to the heart
It is the only proof
That we are beings that do not know
What to do with our hearts
You're just so pretty in your pain
