lyrics

You made your bed while I made mistakes
You're sound asleep while I lay awake
Now people keep trying to tell me that’s the way that it goes
You probably don’t care, but I thought you should know

That I keep holding back these tears in my eyes
Why should I cry, why should I cry
I just keep holding back, holding back these tears
Why should I cry

You always play the fool, but you wrote the book
Whenever I play it cool you always give me that look
Well, why you wanna be so cold
Your golden rule is you get all of the gold

So I keep holding back these tears in my eyes
Why should I cry, why should I cry
I just keep holding back, holding back these tears
Why should I cry

You played with words, I played with fire
I kept getting burned, but you just kept getting higher
Now every little thing I say is one big joke
You laughed in my face with every word I spoke

So I keep holding back these tears in my eyes
Why should I cry, why should I cry
I just keep holding back, holding back these tears
Why should I cry

While paying tribute to the music he loves, yet expanding beyond tradition, Jones has created a fresh musical melting pot of modern rock, pop, and soul. ... more
