Have a Cry
Kina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feelin' kinda low
Oh, and that's not the worst part
I just got a home, yeah
I'm gettin' old and still want to be a star
Yeah, I'm feelin' low
But don't come run to my rescue
Please don't come to preach
Don't need no goddamn happy speech

Is it alright if I cry?
Without no positive speeches
Don't need no lessons on God
He knows I'm human, I got a weakness
Don't just say it's alright
My life fell into 10 pieces
Don't just say it's fine
Just let me have a cry

I know you're tryin' to help me
Can't you just listen to me sometimes?
You can't always find the answers
Everybody's faith ain't always high
Yeah, I'm feelin' low
So please just let me sulk

There ain't nothin' you can say
So don't come sing Amazing Grace
There ain't nothin' you can do
So don't come give your point of view
There ain't nothin' you can say
I'm only human, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Is it alright if I cry?
Without no positive speeches
Don't need no lessons on God
He knows I'm human, I got a weakness
Don't just say it's alright
My life fell into 10 pieces
Don't just say it's fine
Just let me have a cry

I'm only human

Is it alright if I cry?
Without no positive speeches
Don't need no lessons on God
He knows I'm human, I got a weakness
Don't just say it's alright
My life fell into 10 pieces
Don't just say it's fine
Just let me have a cry

Is it alright if I cry?
Without no positive speeches
Don't need no lessons on God
He knows I'm human, I got a weakness
Don't just say it's alright
My life fell into 10 pieces
Don't just say it's fine
Just let me have a cry

Just let me have a cry
Let me have a cry
Just let me have a cry
Let me have a cry
Just let me have a cry, oh!




Let me have a cry
Just let me have a cry

Overall Meaning

Kina's song "Have a Cry" is a heartfelt and vulnerable expression of emotional pain and the desire for space to grieve. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has recently experienced a significant personal loss or setback and is struggling to cope with life's pressures. In the first verse, the singer states that they are feeling low and that they just moved into a new home, implying that they are trying to start over or make a fresh start. However, they also acknowledge that they are getting older and still have a strong desire to be successful or famous, which adds to their feelings of frustration and disappointment.


The chorus of the song is a plea for the listener to allow the singer to cry without trying to cheer them up or offer platitudes. The singer rejects the idea of needing a "positive speech" or lessons on God, insisting that they are only human and need to process their pain naturally. They ask not to be given empty reassurances that everything is "alright" or "fine" because their life feels like it has fallen apart into "10 pieces."


In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that the listener is likely trying to help them and expresses appreciation for that, but ultimately asks for a chance to simply vent and be heard without judgment. They reject the notion that there are easy answers or that everyone's faith is always strong, suggesting that some mountains are simply too tall to climb alone.


Overall, "Have a Cry" is a beautifully written and performed song that touches on universal themes of grief, loss, and the need for human connection in difficult times.
