When I look at my reflection
I wonder just what I see
Do I make a good impression?
What do they all think of me?

Why cry? (Why cry?)
Why cry? (Why cry?)
Why cry when no one listens?
I (I try). But I try
Why try so hard to fit in?

I see myself out in the action
When I think of what's to be
Centering the main attraction
It's so strange that they don't see

Why? (Why cry?)
Why cry? (Why cry?)
Why cry when no one listens?
I (I try). But I try
Why try so hard to fit in?

You captured my heart
You tore it apart
There can be shadows in the dark
Black birds that don't fly
Reaching up to the sky
There's no turning back
Now it's do or die

Baby, you say
When I cry, nobody listens
But I try, I fly
When I cry, nobody listens

You can laugh and say I'm dreaming
Say I'm walking in my sleep
But now I know my life has meaning
Why can't they all just let me be?

Why cry? (Why cry?)
Why cry? (Why cry?)
Why cry when no one listens?
I (I try). But I try
Why try so hard to fit in?

You captured my heart
You tore it apart
There can be shadows in the dark
Black birds that don't fly
Reaching up to the sky
There's no turning back
Now it's do or die

Baby, you say
When I cry, nobody listens
Why cry?
Why cry when no one listens?
I, but I try
Why try so hard to fit in?

(Why cry?) Why cry?
(Why cry?)
Why cry when no one listens?
I (I try). But I try
Why try so hard to fit in?

(Why cry?)
(Why cry?)
(Why cry?)
(Why cry?)
(Why cry?)
(Why cry?)
