Nights I Cry
Paloma Ford Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lookin' back on how many nights I cried
All the moons you weren't by my side
All the pain you put into my life
I thought that we were in this for life

And it's killin' me
How your love bring me to my knees
Bring me to my knees
Let these tears run, drip

All the nights I cried (all the nights I cried)
All the nights I cried
All the nights I cried
Oh, oh
All the nights I cried
You looked me in my eyes
All the nights I cried
For you and I

Nigga, I got so much I could say
But you hurtin' me so bad (so bad)

Now I need you out my way (out my way)
You're blockin' a nigga brain (it's insane)

All the nights I cried (all the nights I cried)
All the nights I cried
All the nights I cried
Oh, oh
All the nights I've cried
You look me in my eyes
You lied

How your love bring me to my knees (no, you never)
(No, you never) bring me to my knees
(No, you never) how your love bring me to my knees (no, you never)




(No, you never) bring me to my knees
How your love bring me to my knees
