While Heroes Cry

(Kevin Gilbert)

David woke up with a headache to fight
He couldn't remember the previous night too well
Drowning, he fell
29 years from the date of his birth
With nothing to show but a folio worth a lot
And the fine things he bought

And David's learning not to feel
Without a friend to help him heal this time

Why don't you just walk away?
This time why don't you just walk away?
You live your lie
While heroes cry

Sandy got married while still in her teens
To a monied young man who would make all her dreams come true
Lie number two
She wants to believe that she made the right choice
But sometimes she finds that she's listening to the voice inside
So long denied

Now every day is harder still
With endless empty hours to fill
This time...

Why don't you just walk away?
This time why don't you just walk away?
You live your lie
While heroes cry

And David makes his whole world pay
As Sandy waits through one more day
This timeā€¦

Why don't you just walk away?
This time why don't you just walk away?
You live your lie
While heroes cry
