Kings Don't Cry

I HOPE THAT YOU’LL FORGIVE ME
FOR ALL MY QUIET TIMES
WHEN YOU LOOKED TO ME FOR ANSWERS
I COULDN’T ANSWER FROM INSIDE

LET YOUR HEART THEN SPEAK TO ME
THIS SILENCE IS SO CRUEL
THESE WORDS ARE TOMORROWS HISTORY
LET’S REDEFINE THE RULES

Chorus:

BUT BIRDS DON’T SWIM
AND FISH DON’T FLY
AND KINGS DON’T CRY THEY REIGN
AND QUEENS DON'T SERVE IN PRISON
AND THE WORLD DON’T TURN IT SPINS
WE LIVE AND LOVE AND LAUGH AND DIE
LIKE RABBITS: HIDE IN HOLES
NEWBORN BABIES ALWAYS CRY
AND WE ALL DREAM ALONE

WINTER’S COMING ON MY FRIEND
YOU KNOW I SHOULD BE GONE
I CAN’T EASE THE HURTING OF THE DEAD
THERE’S NO PEACE IN HOLDIN’ ON

I HOPE I WASN’T PUSHY
AS IS MY WANT TO DO
WHEN I FACE THE UNFAMILIAR
AND YOUR EYES ARE SUCH A SCARY BLUE

Chorus
