Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You made you cry yourself to sleep
Reminiscing on how it began
You found pleasure in this man
You fell like you'll never leave
For his life now you want to lead
Give me just one chance
I know a thousand times
You sit alone and cry
You don't deserve it
Cause I can believe that I can make you smile
Tranquility the misery
Any day will it ever cease?
Here's my shoulder it's okay to cry
Cause I know how make it right
Cause you feel like you want to leave
For his life now you won't lead
Baby give me one chance
Cause I can believe that I can make you smile
I know a thousand times
You sat alone and cry
You don't deserve it
Cause I can believe that I can make you smile
Whoa
I never never make you cry
So pretty baby dry your eyes
I never never make you cry
I promise baby your to precious
I never never make you cry
So pretty baby dry your eyes
I never never make you cry
Cause I believe that I can make you smile
I know a thousand times
You sat alone and cry
You don't deserve it
I believe that I can make you smile
I know a thousand times
You sat alone and cry
Girl you don't deserve it
I believe that I can make you smile
I never never make you cry
So pretty baby dry your eyes
I never never make you cry
So pretty baby dry your eyes
For ever and ever oh yeah I believe
Oh yeah I believe that
