Grown-ups think about the past
How the world was different then
And sometimes they might get upset
About the way things were or might have been
And it's not easy to see your grown-up
Overwhelmed or sad
So just remember this little song
And maybe things won't seem so bad
Sometimes grown-ups cry for no reason
It's not about you
Sometimes grown-ups cry for no reason
There's only one thing you can do
You gotta give them a little space
To wipe the teardrops from their face
Sometimes grown-ups cry for no reason
Grown-ups like to share old stories
That they loved as a child
The books and movies and TV shows
That made their childhood seem worthwhile
And you ask "What's a TV show?"
Well, that's a lot to explain
And knowing they'll never see one again
Might cause them a little pain
Sometimes grown-ups cry for no reason
It's not about you
Sometimes grown-ups cry for no reason
There's only one thing you can do
You gotta give them a little space
To remember the things that can't be replaced
Sometimes grown-ups cry for no reason
They're not angry, just a little sad
It's nothing you did that made them feel bad
And there's nothing you can do to fix it at all
Their world will never be right again, but it's not your fault
Grown-ups think about the loved ones
They lost along the way
And sometimes they act out their hurt
By looking for someone to blame
And sometimes they decide to blame
The first person they see
And if that happens to be you
They don't mean it personally
It's just that sometimes grown-ups cry for no reason
It's not about you
Sometimes grown-ups cry for no reason
There's only one thing you can do
You gotta give them a little space
To remember the people who can't be replaced
Sometimes grown-ups cry
Yeah sometimes grown-ups cry
Sometimes grown-ups cry
For no reason
