I Cried Like a Silly Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He wrote you letters,
And I couldn't care,
'Cause I know you didn't,
You know you didn't,
Still he ran those fingers through your hair,
And he kissed you,
When you let him.
Resiliency amazes me.
You wrote me letters
I didn't read.
I know I didn't,
You know I didn't,
Still I caressed you
Sang you to sleep.
Sometimes I told you you were beautiful.
Resiliency amazes me.
The day I left you,
Got on the bus.
I knew I'd see you,
You knew I'd see you,
Still you cried, and now I know why.
Ain't it too bad?
I loved you so much
Resiliency amazes me
