"Tears To Cry" lyrics

There's a telephone in the corner of Maggie's room
That her son ain't called since April of '02
Since the man in green came and broke the news
Folded up the flag and broke her heart in two
Heart in two

She says it's alright
Is it okay? Are you dead out of tears to cry?
Did you mean it once when you said it a thousand times?
Does it get heavy when you bury it inside?
You don't need to tell me, I can see it in your eyes

Charlie took a midnight train to Dallas
He's trying to turn the pain into a callous
Their wedding band's been on for 32 years
What's he gonna do now that she ain't here?
She ain't here

He says it's alright
Is it okay? Are you dead out of tears to cry?
Did you mean it once when you said it a thousand times?
Does it get heavy when you bury it inside?
You don't need to tell me, I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your eyes

Threw my journal on the floor this afternoon
Dad, I can't write a damn word that ain't about you
Cracks in the walls call out your name
Fifteen years without you filled with pain
Filled with pain

I say it's alright
Is it okay or am I dead out of tears to cry?
Did I mean it once when I said it a thousand times?
'Cause it gets heavy when you bury it inside
I don't need to tell you, you can see it in my eyes
I can see it in your eyes
