Sometimes I Cry

Eric Benét

Two years since you walked away from me 
Since all of our scattered dreams 
Were just thrown away 
I'm finally gettin back to what I used to be 
Share my pain with my family 
Think I'm on my way 

I can sleep at night, 
I don't reach for you when I wake up 
But it's taken some time 
I can live my life 
Without praying that we could make up 
I'm movin on, I'm feeling strong inside 

But sometimes I cry, babe 
When I'm all alone 
With this heart of mine 
Sometimes I cry, babe 
Although you've been gone 
For a long, long time 

Heard you're moving in with someone new 
I hope all your dreams come true 
And you'll both be happy, yeah 

Been long enough for me to take a look around 
I've met a girl, we've been hangin out 
She's been good for me 

But when we're makin love 
She don't take me there like you used to 
And it hurts when I lie (when I lie baby) 
Help me understand how to push you out, 
Forget you and let you go, 
Cuz Lord knows I've tried, yeah 

But sometimes I cry, babe 
Been at all that hurtin 
For a long, long time (yes, I have babe) 
Sometimes I cry, babe 
Ain't nothin workin 
For this pain of mine 

I'll just have to fake it 
Until I can make it 
There's a smile on my face, yeah 
But I'm broken inside
