i can't make her cry anymore

john anderson

i can't make her cry anymore

i can't break her broken heart

the way i did before

if i could just say something

to make a tear roll down her face

maybe there'd be a way

oh

but i can't make her cry anymore

one too many anniversaries

i forgot to celebrate

the flowers for her last birthday

showed up a little too late

oh

little by little

tear by tear

her aching hearts grow numb

i'd give anything now if she break down

but she don't care enough

and i can't make her cry anymore

i can't break her broken heart

the way i did before

if i could just say something

to make a tear roll down her face

maybe there'd be a way

oh

but i can't make her cry anymore

that trip we made to our special place

to spend a little time alone

she walked the beach just out of reach

while i stayed busy on the phone

oh

so many times i've seen her cry

over things i didn't do

now her eyes are clear

she couldn't shed a tear

even if she wanted to

and i can't make her cry anymore

i can't break her broken heart

the way i did before

if i could just say something

to make a tear roll down her face

maybe there'd be a way

oh

but i can't make her cry anymore

there's nothing i can do

there's nothing i can say

i can't reach her now

she's just so far away

and i can't make her cry anymore

i can't break her broken heart

the way i did before

if i could just say something

to make a tear roll down her face

maybe there'd be a way

oh

but i can't make her cry anymore

no

no

no

i can't make her cry anymore
