Lyrics: Why Should I Cry
Album: This Is Who I Am
Artist: Heather Headley
 

There’s a time I felt I was blessed to be loved by you
Those blessings turned to regrets from all the things you put me thru
I remember at night you used to hold me til the sun rose the next day
Now you sleep and just turn away while my heart is on display

CHORUS:
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say

There’s a reason why I cry everyday
There’s a reason why things don’t go your way
There’s a reason why I kneel down and pray
There’s a reason why Im still around today

Can’t you see that I’m hurting internally
I need affection and good love therapy
I need you now it’s an urgent delivery
To get rid of this pain from inside of me

CHORUS:
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say

Why should I put up with lies?
Am I afraid to say goodbye?
I loved you so
Baby I cant deny
But now it’s time to dry my eyes
Time to think of what was gained
When I feel like it was all of pain
Can’t be right and feel this wrong
This heart of mine should just move on

CHORUS:
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say

(Repeat til end)
