Why do you need to cry
When a broken heart is all that you own
When you're feelin' put down and alone
Life is just a game that we all have to play
Cryin' seems the only way

You used to call me when you had no-one to talk to
You used to laugh a lot the way friends really ought to
But now it's changed a bitter taste is all that's left 
there
Why don't you play your music loud forget the past 
cares?

No fancy parties left to drown your sorrows
You're findin' out just the same
Today's the day to think of your tomorrows
Don't let the spark fade away

Why do we need to cry
When a broken heart is all that you own
When you're feelin' put down and alone
Life is just a game that we all have to play
Cryin' seems the only way

Don't say you're sorry when you know you really want 
him
I he comes back I know you're waitin' to forgive him oh 
oh
tell you?
Don't look too close or you might see what you didn't 
want to oh oh

The tears are crocodile and they won't hurt you
You're hard enough to remain yeah
You never cared about the things that mattered
Now that it's over again

Why do you need to cry
When a broken heart is all that you own
When you're feelin' put down and alone
Life is just a game that we all have to play
Cryin' seems the only way

Don't make it hard to understand your feelings
You'll work it out just the same yeah
The need to cry the need to cry

Why do we need to cry
When a broken heart is all that you own
When you're feelin' put down and alone
Life is just a game that we all have to play
Cryin' seems the only way

(Instumental)

Why do you need to cry
When a broken heart is all that you own
When you're feelin' put down and alone
Life is just a game that we all have to play
Cryin' seems the only way yeah
Cryin' seems the only way – cryin' seems
Cryin' seems the only way – cryin' seems
Cryin' seems the only way etc.
