(You know, it's funny how people put labels on things, like men are supposed to be strong, and women weak. I've even heard it said that men don't feel things as deeply as women, don't hurt as bad. But when love comes into your life, and all your feelin's come to the surface - joy, and pain, whatever's in your heart; it's intensified a thousand times. Yes, I've been hurt; deeper than you'll ever know. But bein' the kind of man I am, I have to hide my feelin's. But if I could put all that aside and tell you the truth...)
I want to beg you down on bended knees,
stay with me~~eey.
But then my fears outweigh my needs
and I must turn away,
~ay~hey~ay~ay~
When you're feeling that my heart is cold,
girl, you can't see
the tears that flow deep inside me.
Each day I cry a little
Each night I die just a little
Each day I cry a little
Each night I die just a little.
Those warm and gentle words
my lips can't form.
If you could hear
my silent prayer,
I know you'd change your mind.
Can't you see that I'm just a man
too proud to let you know
If you go...
Each day I'd cry a little
Each night I'd die just a little
Each day I'd cry, cry just a little
Each night I'd die just a little
more than I'm ever gonna show
More than I'm ever gonna show you.
