A Shoulder To Cry On
Only Seven Left Lyrics

It's the first day of the year
I'm starting fresh and new, but something just doesn't feel right.

I'm not feeling as good as new.
I'm feeling down and not as optimistic as I should be.

I'm waiting for my head to collapse
I feel overwhelmed and like everything is about to come crashing down.

There's the message that I feared
I received bad news that I was worried about.

And I can't hold it back no more
I can't hold in my emotions or feelings any longer.

I leave the room to enter the gap
I need space and time to think and process my emotions.

I've had enough to drink for weeks
I've been trying to drink away my problems for weeks.

I've had enough of empathy
I'm tired of people trying to sympathize with me and not truly understanding my pain.

Advice and well-intentioned lies
People keep giving me advice that doesn't actually help, just makes me feel worse.

All I needed was a shoulder to cry on
All I needed was someone to listen and be there for me.

It's your footsteps in hall
I recognize your footsteps and know you're coming to help me.

It's your arm reaching out for me
You're physically and emotionally reaching out to me and offering support.

I'm prepared to let down my guard
I trust you and am ready to be vulnerable and open up.

No longer care about the fall
I'm not worried about the possible negative outcomes of opening up to you.

Now the pain is all over me
I'm feeling the full extent of my emotional pain.

I feel like there's a hole in my heart
My pain is so intense that I feel physically wounded and like something is missing inside of me.

I remember years ago
I reminisce about our past and how you've always been there for me in one way or another.

when you were just a kid who wouldn't leave me alone
You were persistent in trying to be my friend even when I didn't want it or see the value in it.

Who'd have thought you'd dry my tears
You're the one who is now able to comfort me when I'm the one in need.

Now the tables have turned
Our roles have reversed and you're the one helping me instead of the other way around.

I wonder if you'd look up to a king with no throne
I question if you'll still be there for me even if my problems seem insignificant or small compared to others.

I hope we'll keep this running for years
I hope our friendship and support for each other will last for many years to come.

All I needed was a shoulder to cry on
Throughout it all, all I really needed was someone to lean on and listen to me.

(All I needed was a shoulder to cry on)

For years and years and years
I hope we continue to support each other for many years to come.

Oh, oh, ooooooh
Reflecting on the comfort and relief that came from having someone to rely on and share emotional struggles with.
