Learning to Cry

One of these days I'll make some sense of this all
But the more we learn the more we throw away
A lifeless woman with a child in her arms
And the more we see the more we look away
No matter where my feelings take me
It’s a million miles away
Switching off is easy but your face won't go away
So maybe I'll never make much sense of this all
While there’s tears in my eyеs
And I'm a fool for it all

I'm learning to cry
I'm learning to cry

I'm learning to cry
I'm lеarning to cry

So maybe I'll never even see you again
Though you could tell me I was dreaming
If I could only get some sleep
The whole world could be dying and I'd still feel the same
For there’s no logic in my reason
And there’s no order in my grief
We could ration our tears forever and shed them one by one
Explaining all the reasons for everything we've done
One of these days I’ll find the key to all of this
Why we feel what we feel
Why define what we miss

I'm learning to cry
I'm learning to cry
I'm learning to piece it all together
When no two pieces fit
I’m learning to cry

Distorted by the imagery of good and bad
The thinner line of honesty that we once had
An empty beach in Calais with my name in sand
The beach is still there
But my name has been banned

It's four o'clock in the morning
Oh my God, what have I done?
And you wonder where she's sleeping
And you wonder what went wrong

And this emptiness inside me has got a grip and won't let go
And the million people dying but I just don't want to know
I'm learning to cry
I'm learning to cry

I'm learning to cry
(I'm learning to cry)
