Cry
Frozen Ghost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah you wear that smile, to hide your fears
And you laugh out loud, to fight back your tears
Well just go ahead and cry
'Cause that's what lovers do
When a love, says goodbye

Time will pass and make it good again
But until then ... just

Cry if you want to ...

What your eyes saw coming, your heart didn't see
Another lesson learned, by a fool like me
Show that brave face like nothing's wrong
That's what lovers do
When a love says so long

Time will ease the hurt you're hiding from
But until that time comes ...

Cry if you want to ...

No, it's not easy, but the hurt will end
Every little broken heart, in time will mend
Go ahead and cry

So your love said goodbye
Time will make it good again
Hold your head up until then
All the hurt you're hiding from
Will disappear, but until that time comes ...





Cry if you want to ...

No comments in 5 years? Great song! I bought the CD through Columbia Music house in 92 when that was a thing.
