The road to fame started for Parks when her father submitted an impromptu application to the BBC's Fame Academy. She won the contest, and was given the opportunity to showcase her self-penned song "Maybe That's What It Takes" to a public audience. The song was released on 17th November 2003 and peaked at number 3 in the UK Top 40 the following week. Her debut album Introduction was subsequently released and sold over 500,000 copies
Parks went quiet for a long time, amid rumours that she had quit the industry, but returned late in 2005 with an acclaimed album entitled "Honesty". Unlike her previous album, everything on here consisted of her own work, something which she had been wanting ever since the Fame Academy days. Unfortunately, due to poor publicity and distribution issues this album did not reach as wide an audience as she may have liked.
Cry
Alex Parks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought of you with me
Always fighting in the dark
Before
Never got to tell you
I don't know what I mean to you
No need to explain
But I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
And I'd cry
When I think about us
It's only me that comes between us
It's only me
That closes the door
But I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
And I'd cry
And you know you held me up
Held me to the sun
When I was yours
And I know I let you down
Let you down
The day that I was gone
But I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
And I'd cry
But I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
And I'd cry
The lyrics of Alex Parks's song Cry tell a story of a failed relationship, where the singer never felt seen or understood by their partner. The first verse sets up the context of the song, with lines such as "Never thought you knew me" and "Always fighting in the dark before." These lines suggest a lack of communication and intimacy in the relationship. The second verse, with lines such as "No need to explain anymore," implies that the relationship has already ended, and the singer never got to express their feelings.
The chorus of the song centers around the idea of loss and sadness: "But I'd cry, I would die if I lost you/ And I'd cry." The repetition of these lines emphasizes the depth of emotion the singer feels, and the potentially devastating impact of losing their partner.
The bridge of the song introduces a new perspective, with the lines "And you know you held me up/ Held me to the sun/ When I was yours." These lines suggest that the relationship had some positive moments, but ultimately the singer acknowledges that they "let you down/ The day that I was gone."
Overall, the lyrics of Cry are a poignant and heartbreaking reflection on the pain and regret that can come from a failed relationship. The song highlights the importance of communication, understanding, and vulnerability in a partnership.

Never thought you knew me
I never believed that you truly understood me
Never thought of you with me
I never imagined a romantic relationship between us
Always fighting in the dark
Before
We were always in conflict without any resolution in sight
Never got to tell you
I don't know what I mean to you
No need to explain
Anymore
I didn't have the chance to ask about your feelings for me, but now it doesn't matter anymore
But I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
And I'd cry
The possibility of losing you would break me completely
When I think about us
It's only me that comes between us
It's only me
That closes the door
I realize that my own insecurities and fears have been the main obstacle to our relationship
And you know you held me up
Held me to the sun
When I was yours
You lifted me up and made me feel confident when we were together
And I know I let you down
Let you down
The day that I was gone
I'm aware that I disappointed you and caused you pain when I left
But I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
And I'd cry
I can't imagine facing the loss of you without being completely devastated
But I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
And I'd cry
The possibility of losing you would break me completely

I wondered how my wife was coping with all the new stress around her after living with a lady for so long,. Alex and me seem to be getting on just fine the way we are right now,. There hasn't been any bumps in the road yet let's hope it stays that way,.
