Why She Never Lets it Show

There once was a boy who fell in love
And a little girl who loved him so
The young man said that he loves he too,
But no more than a friend she knows.
She cries and prays most every day, knowing it'll never be.
She doesn't lose faith in her dreams
No matter how hurtful they'll be.

She sits and watches him find himself
Doesn't try to change him at all
The thought of him makes her cry
But she's so happy when he's happy
The pain just drifts away.

"I love you," she'll whisper on the phone,
Much too soft for him to hear.
He hangs up, she cries alone.
Oh, how she wants him so.

She cries when he cries, and she laughs when he laughs
And they don't quite know the reasons why
Every time he talks of his love,
She feels so empty inside.
She fights for him and she hurts for him
For every reason she doesn't know.
I guess that's why they call it love,
And why she never lets it show.

She's the singer on his wedding day
And she cries as they say, "I do."
"I love you," she whispers for the last time
He's never looked so handsome.

She cries when he cries, and she laughs when he laughs
And they don't quite know the reasons why
Every time he talks of his love,
She feels so empty inside.
She fights for him, and she hurts for him
For every reason she doesn't know.
I guess that's why they call it love,
And why she never lets it show.
