There Will Be Blood
Mr. Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There will be tears
I've no doubt, there may be smiles but a few
And when the tears have run out, we'll be numb and blue
I can't be there with you but I can dream
I can't be there with you but I can dream
I can't be there with you but I can dream
I can't be there with you but I can dream
I can't be there with you but I can dream
I still dream
I still dream
Oh no, I stubbed my toe
Crack comes the pain like a bullet
But at least it goes
Not like us
Happiness came and went; we had a little tear and now the tears are spent
We were trying to move forward love, but it's tricky through a brick wall love
What the fuck, are we doing love?
How the hell do we move forward love?
Had you had a little drink?
Did you have a little think?
Did you have a little walk down the beach and have a think?
Ignorance was so much bliss thanks.
It was bliss but then came the kiss.
My boy drove me all the way home, he said
"Son, it's a situation.
Whatever you do,
There will be tears."
[Chorus: x2]
I can't be there with you but I can dream
I can't be there with you but I can dream
I can't be there with you but I can dream
I can't be there with you but I can dream
I can't be there with you but I can dream
I can't be there with you but I can dream
I still dream
I still dream
