I Can't Make Her Cry Anymore
John Anderson · Easy Money [2007]
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
