First You Cry

They don't come cheap
When they look like that
And they're so hard to keep
And they move so fast
Soon you'll find
It's all for the best
Put the past behind
And the hurt to rest

But first you cry
And then you sigh
Somebody lied
And you can't run and hide
Don't be so sad
It ain't so bad
You'll get by
Oh, but first you cry

Candy mountains
Streets of gold
All the promises
How they just turned cold
Still the sun will shine
And there'll be warmer days
You'll be feeling fine
And you'll just walk away

But first you cry
And then you sigh
Somebody lied
And you can't run and hide
Don't be so sad
It ain't so bad
You'll get by
Oh, but first you cry

Don't look back
There's nothing to gain
'Cause there ain't no happiness
Without a little rain

But first you cry
And then you sigh
Somebody lied

Oh, and you can't run and hide
Don't be so sad
It ain't so bad
You'll get by
But first you cry

First you cry
Then you sigh
Somebody lied
And you can't run and hide
Don't be so sad
It ain't so bad
You'll get by
Oh, but first you cry
