Cry
♫ James Blunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
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.
The lyrics of James Blunt's song Cry conveys a strong sense of empathy and support for a friend who is going through a difficult time. Blunt begins the song by emphasizing that he has seen both the good and the bad aspects of life, from peace to pain, from birth to death, and so forth. The idea is to show that he has experience and can relate to whatever is troubling his friend.
The second verse sheds light on Blunt's internal struggles, painting a picture of hesitation, doubt, and guilt. It's as if he is reassuring his friend that nobody is perfect and that everyone has their share of inner demons. The chorus repeats the message of empathy and comfort, emphasizing that he's always there for his friend whenever they need to talk or simply cry.
The final verse is a sort of a call to action, inviting his friend to face the future with courage and confidence. He understands their fears and anxieties and offers to be there for them every step of the way. The song ends on a positive note, emphasizing the bond of friendship that exists between the two.

@@baktiarmohammed7755 that calculation is generally true, but unfortunately not so!
I’ve come to have to adopt at age 55, that I never ever say it can’t get any worse, no matter how unbelievably bad it may be
So I am forced to live by that, and grateful for whatever troubles I am experiencing
I pray for the ability to at least grow stronger as a result of my suffering, and struggle
May I and others grow from it so fewer may have to struggle the same
I hope for greatness, but accept surviving! What more can be done

LYRICS
Trouble is her only friend and he's back again
Makes her body older than it really is
And she says it's high time she went away
No ones got much to say in this time
Trouble is the only way is down, down, down
As strong as you were
Tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
For the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means
And I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home
If she had wings she would fly away
And another day God will give her some
Trouble is the only way is down, down, down
As strong as you were
Tender you go
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means
And I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home
And they were all born pretty
In New York City tonight
And summers little girl was taken from the world tonight
Under the stars and stripes
As strong as you were
Tender you go
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means
And I'll carry you home
As strong as you were
Tender you go
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means
And I'll carry you home!

Makes her body older than it really is
She says it's high time she went away
No one's got much to say in this town

I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet

I know what it means and I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home

I feel like you wrote this song for my daughter. In a few days it's 15yrs that she is gone. She made it to 14. She was born in N.Y.C..It was a only day that yr we had snow when she was born. She was beautiful. But she had a brain tumor it became cancer after her brain surgeon refused to take it out. She had 27 shunt revisions. We brought her home to give her peace. She was a strong little girl who hung in for a month and finally she went to her final home. She loved your song "your beautiful". She loved to sing and and had a voice! But the words in this song fit her life as short as it was. Eternal memory!

Dear Helen, I felt the grief in your comment, and My heart ached after each sentence. I am sorry for your beautiful girl but also envious of your strength.
@helenseaman1343
@@alitabesh5362 I'm sitting here crying for her. Yesterday was 15 years that she got her wings and went home. Her trouble was a tumor that returned. And just like in the song there's no one here to listen too. The surgeon threw her scan across his desk and said he's not going to remove the tumor. So she had 27 revisions of her shunt by him. The hospital administration came to ask me after her 3rd revision when I was going to stop doing them!? Wow really? She told her father that it's to much for a little girl! By that time she was blind and her tumor was cancer. All her life trouble was seizures and tumors were her only friends. The last time she had surgery there were fireworks outside her window for New Year's. She couldn't see. But she is at peace now and the drs they will have to answer to God for her life! Thank you for your kindness! That is my daughters story told in a song.
