Everybody Cries Lyrics

Jimmy had a birthday .. 32 to be exact
No one noticed , no one cared .. not a smile was cracked
Now he picks up pennies .. other people's dreams
Tries to speak the lagnuge and wonders what it means .. all he could say

Chorus
Everybody cries .. everybody lies .. everybody needs some time .. to wonder why
Why it ever went so wrong .. what doesn't kill ya makes ya strong
Then she went away .. nothing more to say .. except everybody cries

The old man above me hardly says a word
But I won't condemn cause I don't know his world
He could have lost his daughter .. he could have lost a wife
He might have missed his calling .. he might have missed his life .. sometimes he'll say

Chorus
Everybody cries .. everybody lies .. everybody needs some time .. to wonder why
Why it ever went so wrong .. what doesn't kill ya makes ya strong
Then she went away .. nothing more to say .. except everybody cries

How can he hear a whisper when he can't hear a scream
He's just his father's son .. not the one he hoped to be
He used to call him bullets .. he can here it in the hall
He walked him through the thunder and lost him in the fall .. I can hear him saying...

Chorus
Everybody cries .. everybody lies .. everybody needs some time .. to wonder why
Why it ever went so wrong .. what doesn't kill ya makes ya strong
Then she went away .. nothing more to say .. except everybody cries
