[Verse 1]
Time won't make it easier to come to terms with
When everything you ever had you always failed to notice
I am my mother's child
Stronger for each and every single tear l ever cried
Now and then I forgive my sins, my only crime
I have laid another low cut down in their prime
So don't pretend we didn't try
There's not much I can do with my hands still tied
[Pre-Chorus]
The game's never fair when you're dеalt a final blow
But I don't think that you could ever make it on your own
So wе pretend that sticks and stones don't break our bones
But the bruises will tell a different story we all know
[Chorus]
And I have said before
I know there's nothing new behind that door
For all I am, you still want far more
And I don't think you know
How much I tried so hard to break the mould
After all this time, I try to hide
For I know that cowboys don't cry
[Verse 2]
Time won't make it easier to come to terms with
When everything you ever had you always failed to notice
I am my mother's child
Stronger for each and every single tear l ever cried
[Pre-Chorus]
The game's never fair when you're dealt a final blow
But I don't think that you could ever make it on your own
So we pretend that sticks and stones don't break our bones
But the bruises will tell a different story we all know
[Chorus]
And I have said before
I know there's nothing new behind that door
For all I am, you still want far more
And I don't think you know
How much I tried so hard to break the mould
After all this time, I try to hide
For I know that cowboys don't cry
[Post-Chorus]
I've tried my best to compromise
But I don't want to
I know I've got to
Learn to dry these tears I've cried
[Outro]
I don't think you know
How much I tried so hard to break the mould
After all this time, I try and hide
For I know that cowboys don't cry
