I Can Cry
Moses Gunn Collective Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never let a tear fall from my eye
When I tried I couldn′t get it right
Until I let you out of my sight
I never thought I'd miss your conversation
I never thought I′d find myself in this situation
There's nothing left to do
But I can be and I can cry
But I can be and I can cry
But I can be and I can cry
When the tears come down
Let the tears come down
But I can be and I can cry
And if the sun goes down
Let the sun go down
I never really even felt a thing
But Susie madе my heart sing
When I paint a picture of my lifе
I always thought that you would be my wife
I've tried all those modern medications
They never gave me no good vibrations
There′s nothing left to do, no
But I can be and I can cry
I was always such a normal guy
But I can be and I can cry
I never let a tear fall from my eye
But I can be and I can cry
Ooh, I dry my eyes with your favorite towel
But I can be and I can cry
And if the sun goes down
Let the sun go down
I remember combing your hair
Among other things
But there′s nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing left to do
But I can be and I can cry
But I can be and I can cry
But I can be and I can cry
Let the tears come down
But I can be and I can cry
I'm such a normal, normal guy
But I can be and I can cry
Ooh, it′s alright
But I can be and I can cry
I'm such a normal, normal guy
But I can be and I can cry
Hold me through the night
But I can be and I can cry
The lyrics of Moses Gunn Collective's song "I Can Cry" tell the story of a man who has always been emotionally restrained until he meets someone special who makes him feel things he never thought he could feel. He reminisces about his past life where he was just a normal guy who was never able to cry and how meeting Susie made him feel alive. The song is about allowing oneself to be vulnerable and open to their emotions, even if that means letting their tears flow.
The chorus of the song, "But I can be and I can cry, When the tears come down, Let the tears come down" is an encouraging message to allow oneself to feel emotions and express them rather than suppressing them. The verses talk about how the singer has tried everything from modern medication to forget about Susie, but nothing seems to work. In the end, he accepts that there is nothing left to do and he can only be himself.
Overall, "I Can Cry" is a song about the importance of embracing our emotions and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable to truly experience life.

I'm such a normal, normal guy
Despite my struggles and emotions, I am still just an ordinary person
