I know the way you're feeling
I know you hurt inside
But there's no easy way,
You can't deny the truth

You say it ain't good trying
That's not the way I see it
I think you're hurted cause you're so afraid to my blues
Stand up in fire, cause you've been there before
You reach the point when you can't turn back no more
So if you're gonna crying on

Cry tough
And never let them get to you
Cry tough
Just keep your spirit tight
It's gonna get rough
So if you're gonna make it trough
You cry tough
And let your courage fly

This ain't no game we're playing
This ain't no give and take
Or don't you know there's always someone keeping and it's gone

Live has it share of highs
Love can be twice as bad
Things ain't so simple anymore
I'm on your side
Don't you that I am?
There comes a time you've got to start and make it stand
So if you gonna crying on

Cry tough
And never let them get to you
Cry tough
Just keep your spirit tight
It's gonna get rough
So if you're gonna make it trough
You cry tough
And let your courage fly

Every day your heart beats faster
Every night you're on your own
In every way your life is still
Your own

Cry tough
And never let them get to you
Cry tough
Just keep your spirit tight
It's gonna get rough
So if you're gonna make it trough
You cry tough
And let your courage fly

Cry tough
And never let them get to you
Cry tough
Just keep your spirit tight
It's gonna get rough
(just cry tough)
So if you're make it trough
You cry tough
And let your courage fly

Cry tough
And never let them get to you
Cry tough
Just keep your spirit tight
It's gonna get rough
So if you're gonna make it trough
You cry tough
And let your courage fly

Cry tough
Cry tough
