Time Out To Cry ©

All alone at the end of the day
The time, just a little past ten
Evening has come for a short stay
It’s time for her sorrow again

The smile on her face she’s been holding
Suddenly, she lets fall
And the feelings begin unfolding
She comes out of her personal wall

As the world settles down for the night
She awakens herself from a dream
Now the girl they all thought had her life going right
Is no longer the image she’d seem

She takes off the disguise she’s been wearing
Then opens her heart to the truth
Behind closed doors she’s not caring
About life or love in her youth

So she sits by the mirror spilling tears
She cries by herself in the dark
A whole day of acting like she has no fears
Takes a lot from an empty heart

Inside she’s lonely and sad
Though she acts like she's fine in the day
Revealing her misery, secretly wishing she had
A friend, or a promise to stay

She’s ashamed of the truth she’s been keeping
Living her hours in daylight a lie
This is the reason for in darkness she’s weeping
Taking time out from each day to cry
