Songtext Learning to cry Level 42

Learning to cry

One of these days I'll make some sense of this all
But he more we learn the more we throw away
A lifeless woman with a child in her arms
And the more we see the more we look away
No matter where my feelings take meIt's a million miles away
Switching off is easy but our face won't go away
So maybe I'll never make much sense of it all
While there's tears in my eyes
And I'm a fool for it allI'm learning to cryI'm learning to cry
So maybe I'll never even see you again
Though you could tell me I was dreaming
If I could only get some sleep
The whole world could be dying and I'd still feel the same
For there's no logic in my reason
And there's no order in my grief
We could ration our tears forever and shed them one by one
Explaining all the reasons for everything we've done
One of these day's I'll find the key to all this
Why we feel what we feel
Why define what we missI'm learning to cryI'm learning to cryI'm learning to piece it all togetherwhen no two pieces fitI'm learning to cry
Distorted by the imagery of good and bad
The thinner line of honesty that we once had
An empty beach I Calais with my name in sand
The beach is still there but my name has been bannedIt's four o'clock in the morning
Oh my God what have I done
And you wonder where she's sleeping
And you wonder what went wrong
And this emptiness inside me has a got a grip and won't let go
If there's a million people dying I just don't want to knowI'm learning to cry.
