About How To Cry

This song reverts in style to the “old Sam” — their soaring voice couldn’t be more emotional and heart-rending. Yet another relationship gone wrong. The lyric is interesting in that it attests to the complex struggles that arise when personalities don’t blend well. Despite the experience and growing maturity, this tells a story of incompatibility, the lover’s controlling nature, and deceptiveness. "This is about the same person “Unholy” is about. .

How To Cry Lyrics

[00:12.41] I don't know when you're sad
[00:15.03] I can't tell when you're mad
[00:18.02] You've never been vulnerable
[00:23.13] I believed you could change
[00:25.81] But you're still the same
[00:28.34] And I'm still invisible
[00:32.98] I keep secrets from my family
[00:35.50] All the ways you been controlling me
[00:38.08] When it hurt, I didn't make a sound
[00:43.48] All the drama that you put us through
[00:46.05] How amazing that it's never you
[00:48.14] Who lit the fire, burnt the whole house down
[00:51.89] 'Cause nobody taught you how to cry
[00:56.94] But somebody showed you how to lie
[01:02.61] All of the feelings you don't show
[01:07.59] Are all of the reasons to let go
[01:12.95] I know I got nothing left
[01:18.22] I know I got nothing left
[01:22.45]
[01:25.72] I get that it's deep
[01:28.34] You've never been free
[01:30.98] You've never been satisfied
[01:35.94] And you blame that on me
[01:38.98] The pain you can't see
[01:41.54] The anger you hold inside
[01:45.94] I keep secrets from my friends at home
[01:48.49] So embarrassed, I've been so alone
[01:51.19] God I'm over me protecting you
[01:54.45] 'Cause nobody taught you how to cry
[01:59.54] But somebody showed you how to lie
[02:05.11] All of the feelings you don't show
[02:10.03] Are all of the reasons to let go
[02:15.66] I know I got nothing left
[02:20.75] I know I got nothing left, no
[02:26.05] I know I got nothing left, mmh-mh
[02:31.30] I know I got nothing left, mmh-mmh
[02:37.06]
