Programmed Not To Cry - Drew Seeley

I’m not a robot

I compartmentalize

Shove it deep deep down

Try your best but you’ll never catch it in my eyes

You say you want a man’s man

No big emotional display

Well, thanks my father, and his father, and his pops before I can smile while

walk away

You’ll never see it on my face

Though you’ve left our love to die

And it’s not that I don’t care

It’s just I was programmed not to cry

So, you can burn it to the ground

Say every moment’s been a lie

I’m only what the world has taught me

And I was programmed not to cry

I don’t need a life raft, I don’t need a life vest

Cause when you took a hard right I just made a hard left

You want a big reaction your swimming pool eyes, wet

But something I was not shown is something I cannot forget

Or I won’t allow

If I lock up regret

Then I can lock you out, I know how

You’ll never see it on my face

Though you’ve left our love to die

And it’s not that I don’t care

It’s just I was programmed not to cry

So, you can burn it to the ground

Say every moment’s been a lie

I’m only what the world has taught me

And I was programmed not to cry

Cause I might drown, drown drown

If I let my guard down down

But I can’t drown drown drown

If I don’t know how

I might drown, drown drown

If I let my guard down down down

But I can’t drown drown drown

If I don’t know how (oh, I don’t know how)

In an ocean (of nothing)

About to go under

Or will I keep on treading right here till the day I die?

If I could be open

Can’t help but wonder

And I can’t break this streak

Can’t let myself be weak

You’ll never see it on my face

Though you left our love to die

It’s not that I don’t care

It’s just I was programmed not to cry

You can burn it to the ground

Say every moment’s been a lie

I’m only what the world has taught me
