When She Cries
Restless Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

When all of my hopes were dyin'
Her love kept me tryin'
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
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 lovin' 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

The road I have traveled on
My past experiences


Is paved with good intentions
I meant well, but things didn't always turn out as expected


And littered with broken dreams
My aspirations have often failed


That never quite came true
I couldn't achieve what I aimed for


When all of my hopes were dyin'
When I had given up


Her love kept me tryin'
Her love gave me the strength to keep going


She does her best to hide
She tries to conceal


The pain that she's been through
The hurt she has experienced


When she cries at night
When she is alone, feeling emotional


And she doesn't think that I can hear (her)
She assumes that she is alone in her emotions


She tries to hide
She does her best to conceal


All the fear she feels inside
The anxiety she has bottled up


So I pray this time
I hope this occasion will be different


I can be the man that she deserves
I can be the partner that she needs


'Cause I die a little each time
It hurts me profoundly


When she cries
To see her in distress is painful
