Laugh To Keep From Crying
I cant lock my door
Oh, I dont have no privacy
The only thing thats mine
Is whats inside of me
When Ive had enough
A little voice inside
It says youve got to be tough
Youve got to take it in stride
Sometimes I am foolish
I let it get the best of me
At least I know that my mistakes
Are my responsibility
And
Chorus:
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I dont have a dime
Oh, to buy those pretty things
But I hear all the evidence
You know it all sounds the same
But Im still waiting
Ive got my hands open wide
You know my dream isnt fading
I keep it hidden inside
Oh
(chorus)
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I keep on trying
My friends dont understand
Oh, they think Ive lost my mind
And Im choking back the tears
Ive got to swallow my pride
(chorus)
I just have to laugh, ah
La, ah
Lo, oh
La, ah

Have You Ever Loved Somebody
(hicks / clarke / nash)
You say that you want me and now that youve got me youre gone
Think what youre doin or else youll regret what youve done
Dont come back tomorrow and say what we did wasnt right
Youll cry on your pillow and find it hard to sleep at night
Have you ever loved somebody
Dont you know just what its like
Hurting someone that youre close to
Have you ever loved all night all night
Remember what happened the last time that you said goodbye
Remember the saying that once bit and Ill be twice shy
Its no use me crying there is no denying its right
When thinking has ruined the feeling that we had to fight
Chorus
If you hear people talking now
Will you laugh or cry
If you cry Ill sympathize with you
If you laugh Ill die
If you laugh Ill die

Dont Cry Daddy
(words & music by scott davis)
Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head
My pillow still wet
From last night tears
And as I think of giving up
A voice inside my coffee-cup
Kept crying but
And ringing in my ears
Dont cry daddy
Daddy, please dont cry
Daddy, youve still got me and little tommy
Together well find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please dont cry
Why are children always first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
Its true, but somehow
It just dont seem right
cause evry time I cry I know
It hurts my little children so
I wonder will it be the same tonight
Dont cry daddy
Daddy, please dont cry
Daddy, youve still got me and little tommy
Together well find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please dont cry
Oh, daddy, please dont cry

Fundamental of Liar Chapter XXII: Laugh
there's laugh, forced laugh
laugh, gentle rejection without word
laugh, looking sympathy with laugh
laugh but actually doesn't laugh
hiding anger, hiding pain
cheerful laugh but alone inside
why you try hard to impress people?
tired and wounded more
laughing your foolish joke
and crying life in the dark room
laugh for yourself
laugh with your heart
and you'll never regret to try an honest laugh

Crown Of Scars
Forget about the fight to wear the crown of scars
cause youve already won
Forget the pain and the tears behind you
Bury underneath your feet the remains
Of whats been left behind
cause you have got a long a long way to run
But now you dance the rest of the way
And you dont look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise
Chorus: now you fly away
And you dont look down now
And you laugh till you cant laugh any longer
As you watch your chains fall to the ground
Will you fall against the wall that you have built with your own hands
When you trip upon the thorns that you have tied your legs together with
When you walk upon thin ice that you know you know you should not be walking
Why do you wonder why that you fell through
Chorus
And now you laugh
And your tears
Smile down at your fears
From where you are
From way up here
You know nothings ever looked so good
Nothing ever looked so good
But now you dance the rest of the way
You dont look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise

Whenever Youre Gone
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
I cant go any further now, only if you come with me
Only if you can take my hand and hold me in your arms
If you come and look into my eyes, iii see it all more clearly
All of the tears youve seen my cry
Youll take them all away
If you come and open up my eyes and hold me
Take me away and ease my mind
Just come and hold me tight
Chorus:
Whenever youre gone its lonely
Whenever youre gone I cant face the light of day
Its too many times Ive been on my own
With a burning in my heart
Whenever youre gone
Look at the face you see before you, cant you be open to me
Cant you believe what we have, dont throw it away
Believe in me now dont criticize, its only the beginning
Cant you believe these desperate eyes, believe in what we say
If you came and open up me eyes and hold me
Then I can open up my mind, and I will hold you tight
Chorus
I miss you so, and friends dont understand when I dont want to speak
When youre gone I feel so alone
And I cant sleep for crying, and deep inside I feel like dying

What did you do today
You turned the other way
I tried to kiss you,

Please let me please you

If I said something strong,
Ill admit I was wrong
Come on and tell me,
But dont laugh in my face

Poison
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Spoken:
Dont worry about me, baby
Whenever you walk by me, I can here you breath
I can smell the love you made when you were gone

Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free
Chorus:
Keep youre body to yourself, or give it to somebody else
Youre poison
Cant you you see Im far to tough to let it hurt
Ive had enough of your poison
Dont lay your hands upon me
Just crawl back where you came from
I shutter at the thought of you touching me
Youve stained the love I gave you
Baby, not for long
So much I could have given you
But now youll never know
Baby dont insult me
Im too tired to let it hurt me
Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free
Chorus
Got bad habits on your mind, youre underhanded
Im not blind to your poison

Dont make me laugh, youve told so many lies

Im far too strong to let it get to me
Cant you see that Im not crying anymore
So just get off my back, and leave me alone

Peepin through your window

And theres not much you can do about it

Do it just the way you want it

Because the force is far too strong

Dont Let Me Down
Laughing so hard
I got tears in my eyes
Walk in the park
Under sapphire skies
Oh, I cant believe that youre still around
Almost forgot how you let me down
Crying so deep
That I think I might die
Your mistakes I keep in the back of my mind
So hard to let go but Im comin round
The scars are still fragile
Dont let me down
Chorus:
So dont blow it
No not a little bit
Cause now youre all mine
Dont you forget it
Dont blow it
Even a little bit
Cause now youre all mine
Dont you forget it
(dont let me down) x3
Time after time
Its just too much to take
Ive waited so long
Just to get to this place
And finally it feels like
The lost was found
You got me filled up now
Dont let me down

Worlds On Fire
Across the sea, the sea of love
And when its dark I rise above
Move slowly through the quiet air
I hear your voice, it takes me there
Call my name aloud and Ill be there for you
There is no end to all the things that I would do
Chorus
Stop your crying and dry up your endless tears
Dont you know youve got the key, love sets you free
Worlds on fire, full of pain and endless fear
Dont you know , open your eyes, love sets you free
I hold you tight, my mind is clear
True love in sight, hurt desappears
We are space, a lonely race
A speck of dust upon the face
You are magnificent, and I am here for you
There is no end to all the things that I would do
Chorus
Stop your crying and dry up your endless tears
Dont you know, youve got the key, love sets you free
Worlds on fire, full of pain and endless fear
Dont you know, open your eyes, love sets you free
Stop your crying and dry up your endless tears
Dont you know, youve got the key, love sets you free
Worlds on fire, full of pain and endless fear
Dont you know, open your eyes, love sets you free

Cry Tonight

So dont you want to cry tonight?

Cry Now Laugh Later
Cry now, laugh later.
Its time now to return the favor,
Cry now, laugh laugh later.
I dont know why Im laughing,
Im still wet from the rain,
I dont know why Im laughing,
Im still spotted from the stain.
I dont know why Im laughing,
Im burning from the flame,
I dont know why Im laughing,
Theres a storm running through my veins.
Cry now, laugh later,
Cry now, laugh later,
Sign out, Ill see you later,
Time now to return the favor.
You know I aint lying,
Its so unreal on the other side,
Ill tell you why Im crying,
Dads ten grand on a 4 wheel drive,
I thought they wanted money,
Two thieves as they were passing by,
They tied me up so lonely,
And took the car out from under my eyes.
Cry now, laugh later,
Cry now, Ill get you later,
Im just too tired now to return the favor,
Cry now laugh later.
I dont know why Im laughing,
Immigration breathing down my back,
Aint got no money for a pay off,
Stay in jail until they send me back,
I dont know why Im laughing,
Im still hurting from the pain,
A foreigner in this hell hole,
He aint never gunna touch me again.
Cry now, laugh later,
Its time now to return the favor,
Youe got me crying now,
Ill laugh at you later,
Time now to return the favor.
I dont know why Im laughing,
Im still wet from the rain,
I dont know why Im crying,
Im still spotted from the stain.
You know I aint lying,
Im burning burning up from the flame,
I dont know why Im laughing,
Ive got the storm running through my veins.
Cry now, laugh later,
Baby got to sign out return later,
Just too tired now to return the favor.
Cry now, laugh later...

Weve been in love, boy cant you see it
When can I finally make you mine
I dont know why you dont even try
I got to know where to begin to start to love you
Chorus:
Wake up to love
Can it be any clearer
When will you see you belong to me

Dont fool around, its not a laughing matter

You seem to make me laugh anyway
Right from the start we never were apart
It was always you and me together

Youve got to wake up to love
Can it be any clearer
When will you see you belong to me
Youve got to wake up to love
How come everybody sees it
When will you open up your eyes

Weve never said just how we feel
Why dont love hit you between the eyes
The way its hit me so many times

Boy youve got to wake up to love
Can it be any clearer
When will you see you belong to me

What Do You Know About Heartache

You come to me just as a friend
Cause youre looking for someones shoulder you can cry on
Well she broke your heart
Now its the end
And you say that youve got an aching heart
Like the world has never known
Chorus:
But baby what do you know about heartache
What do you know about pain
What do you know about the sleepless nights
And walking alone in the rain
What do you know about crying
What do you know about being blue
When you dont even know about the love I feel for you
You say I may not understand
How it feels to see your love in the arms of another
But you dont know the many times
That I had to hide all my tears inside
When I saw you with your lover

When you dont even know about the love that I feel for you

Forever & A Day
Look at me while I look at you
Seeing eye to eye we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing
Chorus
If youve got the answer
Then I dont want to know
If youve got the answer
Just keep it your own
I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected
If youve got the answer
Then I dont want to know
If youve got the answer
Just leave me alone
I would be patient but it takes so long
I dont want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day
Chorus
If youve got a vision
Then I dont want to see
If youve got a notion
Dont waste it on me

It Only Makes Me Laugh
I dont know why I feel this way
I dont know if its right or wrong to laugh at misfortune
Darkness can never last too long
Every time I think Im falling
And theres nobody around to hold me up
And it seems like the world has come to an end
I look for miles but not a face is friendly
Then suddenly a hole opens up in the ground
The bottom of the hole is a raging fire
I try to jump over but theres no way
The next thing I know, Im going down
(chorus)
Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesnt matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I dont feel a thing
Does it sting?
Oh, yeah, it really doesnt matter
Does it hurt?
Oh, I dont give a damn
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom
The last time that I fell in love
The love was milk and honey but the milk turned sour
The woman became a monster
And everyone I knew had become a stranger
And the room went black and my luck was spent
The floor opened up, down I went
(repeat chorus)
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
Coming right back
Coming right back
cause you cant keep me down
Cant keep me down
Oh, in the ground
Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesnt matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I dont feel a thing
I dont mind just a little pain
Ooh, oh yeah
Whoa...
Remembering when I was a young man
How everything seemed to turn against me
I didnt know a soul, it was an alien place
The sun was covered by a dark cloud
And though I tried, I couldnt find a way to escape
The only way to go was straight down
(repeat chorus)
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
I dont know why I feel this way
I dont know if its right or wrong to laugh at misfortune
Darkness can never last too long...
When you laugh in its face
When you laugh in its face
I dont know why I feel this way...

I Only Wanna Laugh

Change the mood Im in
For a little while
Let me see that grin
Let me see you smile
No soulful tales that fret and frown
No woeful wails that get me down
No rights or wrongs
Sing no sad songs for me
I only wanna laugh
No time for crying
I only wanna laugh
No time for tears
I only wanna sing
A song thats happy
Thats why I only wanna walk a street thats sunny
I only wanna see the side thats funny
Im saving all of my tears until tomorrow
cause crying all my tears
Just aint my style
Im acting like a clown
But let me be
cause even though I know
The jokes on me
I only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
Im saving all of my tears until tomorrow
cause crying all my tears
