I was very young he was much older • part of my family • in public he was so mean • but behind closed doors he pretended that he loved me • he touched my body in places he didn’t belong • and then tried to tell me that there was nothing wrong with it • now here I am 40 yrs. old and I still can’t let it go • I keep crying silent tears hook Silent tears I cry • they keep on falling down • somebody tell me how can I be free if this keeps • haunting me. (repeat) V2 My best friend told me that I should’ve told somebody • The counselors at school wondered why I was so brand new • Wearing provocative clothes and a whole bunch of make-up • no matter what I did • I still keep crying silent tears hook Silent tears I cry • they keep on falling down • somebody tell me how can I be free if this keeps • haunting me. (repeat) bridge No I don’t cry no mo’ I finally found the strength and told my favorite teacher what was happening to me • She wrapped you in her arms told you you were safe from harm yes she did (YES SHE DID) • Now the tears I cry are tears of joy • You don’t ever have to hurt no more • And you can feel the same way, yes you can...you can feel the same if you tell someone high hook Tears of joy I cry • I’m glad they’re falling down • I’m telling you that you can be set free • if you speak on what’s happening (repeat till end)
