See Me Cry Lyrics

They can't see me cry

Uh oh

Yeah

Paint a picture for 'em

Let's go

Yeah

Wipe the tears from my eyes, they can't see me cry

Hide the pain, crack a smile when I'm passing by

They think I've got it all together, tell me I'm the guy

They say "ndiwe une yese" but I'm dead inside

How can I look alive?

Pretending I'm better without you

When mama asked what she would do without you

I know I said I wouldn't let this love simply come and go

But I said that with my chest as if I had control

As if you didn't know I didn't love myself

I'd hope to look into the mirror and see someone else

I'd take my purpose and my dreams and put them on the shelf

To get some love and validation, all from someone else

And then to patronize you, knowing you could make your own decisions

'Bout your present and your future but I feared and overdid it baby

I ate it, kutoita kuzvidya

And now I'm in my feelings feeling karma zvichindidya

TBH I wasn't ready to fall

It cut so deep I really felt like I was losing it all

I was down bad on my back, my family thought it was small

Couldn't relate to how cold I felt in that trench of withdrawal

Applied the pressure and maybe that's why there's pain in my chest

When it comes to Mjolo I'm thinking "bafethu rest"

Cause what's the point of devotion and you trying your best

When she ain't ever coming back and she was only a guest

Wipe the tears from my eyes, they can't see me cry

Hide the pain, crack a smile when I'm passing by

They think I've got it all together, tell me I'm the guy

They say "ndiwe une yese" but I'm dead inside

How can I look alive?

Pretending I'm better without you

When mama asked what she would do without you

I know I said I wouldn't let this love simply come and go

But I said that with my chest as if I had control

As if I knew what God was planning for me

Now I'm stuck in acrimony

Heard them wedding bells again

The goal was Holy Matrimony

And I tried to get you back but you were cold

The freezer, but my heart for you's the stove

Now I'm running on my own

My lover left the room Joel sung of

Was it you, I gotta wonder

I thought it was so I was here investing in us major

Believed this was a fairytale till I became a stranger

The first month was a battle

I mean a motherfucking nightmare

I was looking to my future, couldn't see a light there

This outcome was everything I feared

I should've let myself enjoy it more instead of daily living so scared

That I would lose you

And now it's happened to me too soon

I would relish every time that I would have to choose you

I would drop it all for one more first date

And that goes triple for you saying yes and finally taking on my last name

I miss you

Wipe the tears from my eyes, they can't see me cry

Hide the pain, crack a smile when I'm passing by

They think I've got it all together, tell me I'm the guy

They say "ndiwe une yese" but I'm dead inside

How can I look alive?

Pretending I'm better without you

When mama asked what she would do without you

I know I said I wouldn't let this love simply come and go

But I said that with my chest as if I had control

This love has taken its toll on me

She said goodbye

Too many times before
