I Only Cry When You Go - Gillian Welch

Here you are, come to tell me you’re leaving

Because I’m cold and I don’t understand

But you’re wrong if you think I’m unfeeling

And I’m tough like a man

'Cause when you go, then my tears’ll start falling

You don’t see, so, honey, how could you know?

Though you call me a hard-hearted woman

Well, it just isn’t so

But I only cry when you go

When I tried not to show any weakness

I thought it best, now I guess I was wrong

'Cause you think that I won’t need you to lean on

And you think that I’m strong

But when you go, then my tears’ll start falling

You don’t see, so, honey, how could you know?

And though you call me a hard-hearted woman

Well, it just isn’t so

But I only cry when you go

Though you call me a hard-heartd woman

It just isn’t so, oh

But I only cry when you go
