His Secret

no one can ever make me cry most every man is just like me we hold it in we tell a lie it's only foolish words we say it doesn't matter anyway it's not as bad as sticks and stones it only leaves a secret scar I will survive another day why can't I turn and walk away I wear a smile so no one knows or they might scoff and laugh at me but I must face my job today it doesn't matter anyway no one can ever make me cry most every man is just like me we hold it in we tell a lie it's only foolish words we say it doesn't matter anyway but still my heart is broken now I hide the suffering within I cannot trust the silent crowd I never speak of it aloud you pass me on the street each day I say I'm tired and overworked you see me in the market place a mask conceals my tearless face no one can ever make me cry most every man is just like me we hold it in we tell a lie it's only foolish words we say it doesn't matter anyway it doesn't matter anyway it doesn't matter anyway ~~~~~ This song was inspired by "Luka" by Suzanne Vega circa 1987. Her song is about a woman who is being physically abused. Mine is from the point of view of a man and verbal abuse.
