Cry
ղķÊ˲¼ÀÊÌØJames Blunt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover's final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I'll cry on your shoulder.
You're a friend.

You and I have been through many things.
I'll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn't cry for anything,
But don't go tearing your life apart.

I have seen fear. I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,




Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.

lyrics :

It's making you cry every time
You give your love to me this way
Saying you'd wait for me to stay
I know it hurts you
But I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry
Maybe I'd change for you someday
But I can't help the way I feel
Wish I was good, wish that I could
Give you my love now
But I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry
I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry
