Cover art for This Is Why lyrics by Late Night Alumni

You can’t show your emotions by crying because then people know how you feel. She’s better off not showing her true emotions and feelings because it makes her vulnerable and people can see that and take advantage of her. It’s sad we can’t show our emotions in this crazy world of ours as there’s always people looking for vulnerable prey when they are at their most vulnerable.

“Everything I Keep Inside”

And she can’t heal or process pain and trauma because that puts her at tremendous risk. It’s a sad fact of this world.
