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

There's a time I felt
I was bless to be loved by you
But those blessings turned to regrets
From all the things you put me through

I remember at night you use to hold me
'Til the sun rosed the next day
But now you sleep and just turn away
While my heart is on display and I say

Why should I cry one more night?
Why should I smile when it hurts inside?
Why will 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 will 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 I'm still around today

Can't you see that I'm hurtin' eternally?
I need affection and good love therapy
I need you now as an urgent delivery
To get rid of this pain from inside of me

Why should I cry one more night?
Why should I smile when it hurts inside?
Why will 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 will 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've loved you so, baby, I can't deny
But now it's time to dry my eyes

It's time to think of what was gained
When I feel like it was all in vain
Can we right and fill this wrong?
This heart of mine says just move on

Why should I cry one more night?
Why should I smile when it hurts inside?
Why will 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 will 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 will 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 will my heart say, "Get up and walk away?"
Why do I say?
