I saw you the other day;
It all went down the same.
We laughed and grinned, but never dared
To even say the other's name.
You wonder why I'm different,
But ignore the things I say.
I have to hide the love I'm feeling
Just to make you stay.

I cry in the shower,
So I can't count my tears.
I plan for tomorrow
And silence all my fears.
Sure it seems pathetic,
But you don't have my view.
So I cry in the shower
And drown all mem'ries of you.

I know I'll never have you
But that doesn't mean I won't try.
I know there's no use chasing
After any other guy.
Yes, you may have used me
And left me here for dead,
Somehow I still can't hate you,
I love you more instead.

So I cry in the shower
So I can't count my tears.
I plan for tomorrow
And oil all my gears.
Sure, I'm lost and listless,
But since there's nothing I can do,
I cry in the shower,
Drowning all mem'ries of you.

I'm building a dam from the bottom up.
I'm drinking from the bitter cup.
Doing whatever I have to do
To rid my mind of the thought of you.

I cry in the shower
So I can't count my tears.
Planning for tomorrow
Doesn't make up for lost years.
It may not help the matter,
But what else can I do?
I cry in the shower,
So I can't count my tears.
Vow to live through one more day,
And hide my troubles from my peers.
There's no use pointing fingers,
Or giving you any clue,
So I cry in the shower
And drown all mem'ry of you.
