Nobody Cries
Charlie Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slow and easy
A life that won't bring me down
I'm looking for a simple kind of love
But it ain't no bed of roses in the lonely little town
Could you tell me how it's supposed to be
Because between you and me
Nobody cries when I leave
They tell me you should try to believe
When it hurts like hell,
This too shall
Pass me through the stars to a simple kind of faith
And put me up in heaven with a Burnside settin' down
I'm looking for a simple kind of touch
But it ain't no bed of roses in this lonely little town
Tell me how it's supposed to be
Because between you and me
Nobody cries when I leave
They tell me you should try to believe
When it hurts like hell,
This too shall
I've got so much love to give and I can't get it out of my head
You should know by now
My heart has love
You should know by now
Nobody cries when I leave
They tell me you should try to believe
When it hurts like hell
This too shall
The lyrics to Charlie Mars's song Nobody Cries express the singer's longing for a simple and easy life, love, and touch. He seems to be searching for something that won't bring him down and is looking for guidance on how to achieve this kind of life. The lyrics imply that he has tried to find this kind of life before in a "lonely little town," but it hasn't been easy. He asks for advice on how it's supposed to be because he seems lost and unsure of what to do.
The chorus emphasizes his loneliness and how it seems like nobody cares when he leaves. It's unclear who he is referring to, but it could be friends or lovers. The line "they tell me you should try to believe" could imply that people are telling him to believe that everything will be okay, even though it hurts. The last line, "this too shall," cuts off, leaving the listener to fill in the blank. It could be "pass" or "shall pass," suggesting that everything is impermanent and that tough times won't last forever.
Overall, the lyrics to Nobody Cries convey a sense of longing, loneliness, and uncertainty. It's a relatable feeling, and the song's slow, somber melody enhances these emotions.
