He whispers something softly in her ear
She doesn’t know him, but it couldn’t be queer
There are a thousand cases
She knows there are a million broken vases
But if she doesn’t try how will she ever fly?
He’s a fool, but she’s all he’s got
He was alone, and now he thinks he’s not
So why should anything change?
Why would his priorities need to rearrange?
If he doesn’t go, how will he ever know?
Malicious risk, how you seep
Like the venomous snake bite, you make the innocent weep
Oh, the soul unknowing, the heart ever trusting
And you shatter the smile
You’re the reason I cry a while
The mother’s face glows with joy
When her baby is born, oh, it can’t be destroyed
Someday he will cross without her hand
He can’t be dependent, she must understand
If the child is fearful, how will he be knowledgeable?
A father adores his daughter’s growth
She asks him to be there, and he swears an oath
She must attempt on her own
Though she’s shaken visibly to the bone
If she doesn’t take the step, what more will she forget?
Malicious risk, how you seep
Like the venomous snake bite, you make the innocent weep
Oh, the soul unknowing, the heart ever trusting
And you shatter the smile
You’re the reason I cry a while
Oh, she’s lying beaten on the carpet
Her blood stains from the love he promised
Oh, he’s feigning a smile, she said she’s leaving
Hiding his tears in the darkness as it’s raining
The child grew, died too soon
The daughter felt too weak to reach the moon
And this is the possible result of consequence
All at a chance’s expense
Maybe, who knows, the opposite happened
Malicious risk, how you seep
(Malicious risk, how you seep)
Like the venomous snake bite, you make the innocent weep
(Venom that makes the innocent weep)
Oh, the soul unknowing, the heart ever trusting
(Heart ever trusting)
And you shatter the smile
(And you shatter my smile)
You’re the reason I cry a while
(You’re the reason I cry a while)
(Repeat x2)
You’re the reason I cry a while
