Go On and Cry
Diana DeGarmo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comes back around
Seems that's the way
Heartache falls
I learned to live
Without you by my side
But I prayed
So why don't you
Lie down beside me
Open your heart
And confide in me
[Chorus]
Go on and cry
Here's my shoulder
Why don't you try
To imagine that I even care
Go on and cry
On my cold shoulder
You left me so sad
And you hurt me so bad
It's your turn to
Cry cry cry
Over me
You say you made
A big mistake
When you threw away
The love I gave
I always knew
You'd come around again
Looking for the love
We made
[Chorus]
Sometimes love
Is overrated
It can be so hard
To find a cure
And when a heartbreak
Is understated
It comes back around, I'm sure
Oh,oh,oh
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Diana DeGarmo's song Go On and Cry describe a love story that has gone wrong. The song is about a woman who has gone through heartbreak but still cares about her former lover. The beginning of the song talks about how heartache falls back on those who spread it. The main character's heart was broken because her lover left her feeling upset and hurt, but they are now trying to come back into her life. The singer of the song now wants her former partner to open up to her and confide in her, which would give them the chance to rekindle their relationship.
The main part of the song begins in the chorus. She offers her partner her shoulders and suggests he cry on them because he left her heartbroken before. She wants him to imagine she cares for him, even after he hurt her. The character has left the heartbreak behind and has already learned to live without them. Still, she is willing to let the other person come back into her life to try and reconcile. The lyrics are a testimony to how we can love someone even after they have hurt us and how we can give them another chance despite their past mistakes.

What goes around
The consequences of your actions eventually catch up to you
Comes back around
The result of your actions will affect you in the future
Seems that's the way
This way of life is inevitable
Heartache falls
Painful experiences happen to everyone
I learned to live
I figured out how to cope without you
Without you by my side
I had to move on without you
But I prayed
I hoped for your return
For the day you'd call
I wanted to hear from you
So why don't you
Won't you
Lie down beside me
Be close to me
Open your heart
Be vulnerable with me
And confide in me
Share your feelings with me
Go on and cry
Let your emotions out
Here's my shoulder
I'm here to support you
Why don't you try
Give it a chance
To imagine that I even care
Consider the possibility that I genuinely care about your well-being
On my cold shoulder
I'm willing to listen, even if it's not easy
You left me so sad
Your departure caused me a lot of pain
And you hurt me so bad
Your actions caused me a lot of pain
It's your turn to
Now it's your chance to
Cry, cry, cry
Let out all your sadness and regret
Over me
About what we had together
You say you made
You admit to
A big mistake
A serious error in judgment
When you threw away
When you got rid of
The love I gave
The affection I showed you
I always knew
I had a feeling
You'd come around again
You'd return to me eventually
Looking for the love
Seeking out the affection
We made
Together
Sometimes love
Occasionally affection
Is overrated
Has too much importance placed upon it
It can be so hard
It's difficult
To find a cure
To fix the pain it causes
And when a heartbreak
And when a situation causes emotional pain
Is understated
Is not given enough attention
It comes back around, I'm sure
You'll feel the effects of it again eventually
