## Lyrics
[verse]
She closed the door behind her, she took the light away,
Now I've got the whole night just to face the break of day,
I fold my sorrow inward, I won't let it show,
The world don't need to see me broken, aching, low.

[chorus]
Don't let the sun catch you crying, hold your tears till dark,
Don't let the sun catch you crying, hide the wound, the mark,
Smile a little longer, let the morning pass you by,
Don't let the sun catch you, don't let the sun catch you crying.

[verse]
I'll walk these empty sidewalks with my collar high,
Nobody has to know the reason for the sigh,
Behind these eyes a river's waiting to break free,
But I won't let it happen where the whole town sees.

[chorus]
Don't let the sun catch you crying, hold your tears till dark,
Don't let the sun catch you crying, hide the wound, the mark,
Smile a little longer, let the morning pass you by,
Don't let the sun catch you, don't let the sun catch you crying.

[bridge]
Maybe when the stars come out I'll let it go,
Maybe in the quiet dark my tears can flow,
But out here in the daylight I'll stand tall and true,
Nobody will ever guess what I'm going through.

[chorus]
Don't let the sun catch you crying, hold your tears till dark,
Don't let the sun catch you crying, hide the wound, the mark,
Smile a little longer, let the morning pass you by,
Don't let the sun catch you, don't let the sun catch you crying.
