lyrics

YOU'RE STILL CRYIN' HARD (ON THE INSIDE)
words & music: bill mallonee c. 2016 BMI

There's only so much you can do
to pretend it doesn't hurt
gone from bad to worse
and then invisible
Ya' wear your frown upside down
& tell your pretty little lie
you're still crying hard on the inside
you're still crying hard on the inside

Now, it's written in the stars & sung each night
in every honky tonk
from Tucumcari clear to Tennessee.
Take the whole thing a part for the 1000th time
you're still crying hard on the inside
you're still crying hard on the inside

there is no anesthesia that'll get you free
no debauchery that isn't really slavery
you can hold what little does remain to the kindly light
you're still crying hard on the inside
you're still crying hard on the inside

if fools blurt out what angels fear to whisper
every time i'm with her it's as bright as the sun
given to the tremolo and a lap steel's lonesome swell
we make our beds in hell...a stone's throw to redemption
Ya' wear your crown upside down
& tell your pretty little lie
you're still crying hard on the inside
you're still crying hard on the inside
