I think about the ones who love me and tell me they care.

Those who often say to me, "I will always be there."

What if one day I am betrayed and my burdens get to heavy to bear?

Only then would I cry. I'd cry those silent tears.

We get to a point when love is needed and shared.

It's at that point we say, "I can't take it here."

Only then do I cry. I cry those silent tears.

When I can't be with you. When you can't be near.

I take from my heart what you have given me and on my soul that's what I

carefully wear

But, if perhaps I lose those things and you are not there

Only then will I cry. I'll cry those silent tears.
