John Murphy and Daniel L Griff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a grey, rainy day when the small streams turn into engorged torrents, as you hear footsteps behind you, do you ever wonder, is it your past catching up with you? Will these rains cleanse you and wash away your transgressions? Or, will a drowning world reach out to take you in its embrace? Even vagrant thoughts originate someplace and such fears aren't without basis. After all, the guilty know well who they are. They know what they've done. And so do we. Sleep with one eye open. The rain may fall sooner than you think.

Here's the beautiful lyrics you looking for❤
[Verse 1]
Time's on your side
When you're six years young and brave
Heart's beating wild
Like it's strong and could never break

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you meet your first love
Just to learn a lesson
Guess it's kinda fun in a funny way
Then it gets deep
And you say I'll never leave ya
'Til you get scared and you run away

[Chorus]
Remember while I say you can cry
'Cause your tears are gonna dry
I wouldn't lie
Cross my heart and hope to die
I hope you know that I will be here
With my shoulder by your side
So cry
You can leave it all behind tonight

[Drop]
Cry, I
You can leave it all behind


[Verse 2]
Now you're up in the night
Thinking 'bout a call that you never made
You work for a life
That you don't want anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you meet a real one
Learn another lesson
Guess it's kinda fun in a funny way
Then you wanna be heard, scream until your chest hurts
Are you gonna stay or runaway?

[Chorus]
Hear me while I say you can cry
'Cause your tears are gonna dry
I wouldn't lie
Cross my heart and hope to die
I hope you know that I will be here
With my shoulder by your side
So cry
You can leave it all behind tonight

[Drop]
Cry, I
You can leave it all behind tonight
Cry, I
You can leave it all behind


[Bridge]
When the words to your chest hurt
You can leave it all behind
When you know it can't get any worse
Keep your shoulder close to mine
When your eyes are about to burst
Let it out you'll be alright
You can leave it all behind
Leave it all behind yeah

[Drop]
Cry
'Cause your tears are gonna dry
I wouldn't lie
Cross my heart and hope to die
I hope you know that I will be here
With my shoulder by your side
So cry
You can leave it all behind tonight



@viveksaraswat3623

Need your love
Just for a moment

And yes...CRY

Listen
This might be heavy, but you need to hear it.
You don’t have to like the person you are. You don’t have to like where you are in life. You don’t need to change right now. You need to grow.

Lately I’ve been beating myself up for not knowing who I am or what I want in life. I feel anxious when people ask that damned question: “If you only had 60 seconds left, what would you do/would you regret what you’ve done?”

It’s okay to regret the life you’re living right now. I’m in college, trying to get a degree, trying to take my next step. I don’t like it, I’m not my happiest. And that’s okay. One day I’ll grow into the person I want to be. I don’t know who that is yet, but I’ll find out eventually.

You don’t have to love every second of life. You don’t have to know yourself. You don’t have to stick to the image people give you. You don’t have to get frustrated or upset or anxious about how your life is going right now.
Just be you, and grow. Only you can live your life.

@vishalrajput3876

How could I be so lost
In a place I know so well?
How could I be so broken
In a family so together?
How could I be so lonely
Surrounded by so many?
How could I be so unhappy
Surrounded by so much beauty?
How could I be me
When even I remain a mystery?
