Begin To Cry
Christopher Jak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Times been wasted and I'm wasted away
Suffocating anything, I wanted to say
times been wasted and I wasted my words
buried deep beneath my silence
times been wasted and I think I might have something to say
I could tell you baby, but you know never meant it that way
Times been wasted and I wish I could explain
anything cause it's
not like I've forgotten its just Ive forgotten how its not like Ive been lost oh, I can't find my way out.

I would use my mouth to open up your eyes
and, hold them there so long now that you bein to cry, oh.

Ive got a few more things I wish made a little more sense and a whole big long list of stuff I wish cost a whole lot less.
I'm quite positive now that I would give it all up today for one more shot, for one more chance, for one more time around this dance.

It's not like I've forgotten , its just Ive forgotten how its not like Ive been lost oh I can't find my way out . I would use my mouth to open up your eyes
and, hold them there so long now that you begin to cry.

If you had the time would you spend it with me,
just think about it baby,
think a little bit harder than maybe cause, you know better than anybody else how to read between my words, my words.

And I would use my mouth to open up your eyes
and hold them there so long now that you begin to cry




I would use my mouth to open up your eyes
hold them there so long now that you begin to cry
