When She Cries
MYMP Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The road I have traveled on
Is paved with good intentions
It's littered with broken dreams
That never quite came true

When all of my hopes were dying
Her love kept me trying
She does her best to hide

The pain that she's been through

When she cries at night
And she doesn't think that I can hear her
She tries to hide
All the fear she feels inside

So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
'Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

She's always been there for me
Whenever I've fallen
When nobody else believes
She'll be there by my side
(She'll be by my side)

I don't know how she takes it
Just once I'd like to make it
Then there'll be tears of joy
That fill her loving eyes

When she cries at night
And she doesn't think that I can hear her
She tries to hide
All the fear she feels inside

So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
'Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
'Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves

'Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

Line by Line Meaning

The road I have traveled on
The journey I've been through

Is paved with good intentions
I had good intentions, but it wasn't enough to prevent the failures I faced

It's littered with broken dreams
My journey is filled with unfulfilled dreams

That never quite came true
I was never able to achieve them

When all of my hopes were dying
At the lowest point of my life

Her love kept me trying
Her love for me motivated me to try harder

She does her best to hide
She tries to conceal

The pain that she's been through
The suffering she has gone through

When she cries at night
When she feels sad and alone, away from others

And she doesn't think that I can hear her
And she believes that I'm not aware of her tears

She tries to hide
She attempts to conceal

All the fear she feels inside
All the anxiety and terror she has within her

So I pray this time
I have hope this instance

I can be the man that she deserves
I can be the partner she deserves, the one who will make her happy

'Cause I die a little each time
The sadness I feel every time

When she cries
When she sheds tears

She's always been there for me
She has been my support system

Whenever I've fallen
Whenever I fail

When nobody else believes
When everyone else has lost faith

She'll be there by my side
She will always be there to support me

I don't know how she takes it
I don't understand how she can handle it

Just once I'd like to make it
I want to succeed, just once

Then there'll be tears of joy
Then she will cry tears of happiness

That fill her loving eyes
That will make her eyes overflow with love

So I pray this time
I have hope this instance

I can be the man that she deserves
I can be the partner she deserves, the one who will make her happy

'Cause I die a little each time
The sadness I feel every time

When she cries
When she sheds tears

So I pray this time
I have hope this instance

I can be the man that she deserves
I can be the partner she deserves, the one who will make her happy

'Cause I die a little each time
The sadness I feel every time

When she cries
When she sheds tears
