it is not my turn to cry
and when it is , i won't even try .
i'll just let them flow out , all on their own
they don't know what it's like to be home .
a good child will see causes for pain
she won't be tempted ; she'll just walk away
but i have never been known to do that
i won't see the pain behind the mask
i will follow the herd , like a good sheep should
but what if , a great wolf seems misunderstood ?
will all the others run away ?
will i blind myself and stay ?
i can see it happening now
he'll start to cry , but not too loud
and when the others see me again
i'll be quite a sight , in my canine shroud .
