I know the way you're feeling
I know you're hurt inside
But there's no easy way you can't deny those truths
You say it ain't worth trying
That's not the way I see it
I think you're hiding cause you're so afraid you might lose
Stand up and fight it cause you've been there before
you've reached the point where you can't turn back no more
So if you're gonna cry at all
Cry tough
And never let 'em get to you
Cry tough
Just keep your spirits high
It's gonna get rough
So if you're gonna make it through
you cry tough
And let your color flare
This ain't no game were playing
This ain't no give and take
What don't you know there's always someone keeping score
Life has its share of heartaches
Love can be twice as bad
Things aren't so simple anymore
I'm on your side don't you know that I am
There comes a time you've got to stop and make a stand
So if you're gonna cry at all
Cry tough
And never let 'em get to you
Cry tough
Just keep your spirits high
It's gonna get rough
So if you're gonna make it through
you cry tough
And let your color flare
Everyday your heart beats faster
Every night you're on your own
In every way your life is still your own
[guitar solo]
Cry tough
And never let 'em get to you
Cry tough
Just keep your spirits high
It's gonna get rough
So if you're gonna make it through
you cry tough
And let your color flare
Cry tough
And never let 'em get to you
Cry tough
Just keep your spirits high
Just cry tough
Were gonna make it through
You cry tough
And let your colors flare
Cry tough
And never let 'em get to you
Cry tough
Just keep your spirits high
It's gonna get rough
So if you're gonna make it through
you cry tough
And let your color flare
Cry tough
Cry tough
