Shoulder To Cry On
Ryland James Lyrics

I hope it ends today
The singer hopes the relationship ends soon.

You find another way
The singer hopes the partner finds a better way to deal with their problems.

Don′t block me out
The singer doesn't want to be ignored or rejected by their partner.

Don't shut me down
The singer doesn't want to be dismissed or pushed away by their partner.

Told me your hands are tied
The partner told the singer that they are unable to change the situation.

I wanna see you smile
The singer wants their partner to be happy and not sad all the time.

You have your doubts
The partner is unsure about their feelings or the relationship.

And you′re all cried out
The partner has cried so much that they have no more tears left.

It's clear that I'm falling
The singer is falling in love with their partner.

And you know I want this
The partner knows that the singer wants the relationship to work out.

No I don′t wanna be your friend
The singer wants more than just friendship from their partner.

You tell me it′s love
The partner claims they love the singer.

You won't let him go
The partner is unwilling to let go of someone else they are involved with.

You play with my heart
The partner is toying with the singer's emotions.

And it′s growing cold
The singer's feelings are turning cold due to the partner's actions.

See, I'm just a shoulder to cry on
The singer is only there to comfort their partner in their time of need.

Said it would end one day
The partner promised the relationship would eventually end.

But that′s just an empty phrase
The partner's promise is meaningless and insincere.

He′s in control
The other person the partner is involved with is controlling them.

Breaks you down and steals your soul
The other person the partner is involved with is exerting a negative influence on them.

You always lie to me
The partner frequently deceives the singer.

Selling me pointless dreams
The partner is selling the singer false hopes and unrealistic expectations.

Well I'm on a road
The singer is on a journey or path.

Hanging on with no hope
The singer feels hopeless about the relationship.

Yeah you have me crawling
The partner has reduced the singer to feeling weak and helpless.

Leave a message and tell you I′m calling
The singer will try to contact their partner.

We'll do this all again
The relationship will repeat the same cycle of problems and heartache.

I′m just a shoulder, shoulder
The singer is just a source of comfort for their partner.

You won't let him go
The partner is still unwilling to let go of the other person they are involved with.

He′s in control now baby
The other person the partner is involved with has more power over them than the singer does.

(See I'm just a shoulder to cry on)
The singer reiterates their role as a source of comfort.

(I'm just a shoudler to cry on) Ohh yeah
The singer emphasizes that their role is limited and not enough for a fulfilling relationship.

Ohh, ooh
Vocal interlude without meaningful lyrics.

I'm just a shoulder to cry on, yeah
The singer repeats their role as a source of comfort.
