the other day you asked me..."how come you never cry?" and i, replied, "i never do I'm just a stone gone dry"

me!
I can never hide the truth from you because
you see me for what i am
it shows in my eyes, you say
and by the gestures of my hand
although i can lie with the best of them
and learn to by wry like the rest of them
mostly,
it's like trying to crack a smile in a bitter storm
it just can't be done
