Sitting in my room trying not to show
The world about my tears
I wait until they dissapear
So I can let it all come out
As I go ahead and cry out loud
I should let you know

[Chorus:] I can't take these tear drops
Will they ever stop
Sandness rolling down my face
Marking their rightful place
Showing the world how I feel inside
As I start to cry

I can't imagine how it would be
If I let the world see
I don't want anyone involved
Cause then they'd try to solve
Why is it at home and cry
But go ahead and try, try to see why

[Chorus:] I can't take these tear drops
Will they ever stop
Sandness rolling down my face
Marking their rightful place
Showing the world how I feel inside
As I start to cry

I'm hanging onto hope
Climbing up a steep slope
And I'm not letting go
Maybe I'll let the world know
It's better than being alone
Hoping on hope

[Chorus:] I can't take these tear drops
Will they ever stop
Sandness rolling down my face
Marking their rightful place
Showing the world how I feel inside
As I start to cry
