If I Cry
Storm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the grey skies to blues
If I had you
I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind
I could start my life all a new
If I had you
I could climb the snow capped mountains
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side
I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you

I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the grey skies to blues
If I had you
I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind
I could start my life all a new
If I had you
I could climb the snow capped mountains
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side
I could be a king, dear, uncrowned




Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do

[Chorus: Yung Van]
I can see the storm in your eyes
When you're about to cry, I know why
I can feel the pain in your tears
All of your secrets and fears
Let it fall
Let the rain run down your face
Feel it all
As your mind disintegrates

[Verse 1: Yung Van]
I'm only nineteen
You all know nothing 'bout me
You only know that I'm sad
I don't even live with my dad
But when you cry, it's a storm
You feel your body get warm
I see your eyes, they're all red
I know you wish you were dead

[Bridge: Yung Van & Qawi Kamri]
I know you wish you were dead
I know you wish you were dead
I know you wish you were dead
I know you wish you were dead

[Chorus: Yung Van]
I can see the storm in your eyes
When you're about to cry, I know why
I can feel the pain in your tears
All of your secrets and fears
Let it fall
Let the rain run down your face
Feel it all
As your mind disintegrates

[Verse 2: Qawi Kamri]
Bloodshot eyes from you crying
You don't want to wake up in the morning
When you see my calls, you ignore it
But I can truly see that you're trying
I can see the pain in your eyes
When you said that you're fine
I know that you lied
I know that you lied

[Chorus: Yung Van & Qawi Kamri]
Let it fall
Let the rain run down your face
Feel it all
As your mind disintegrates

[Bridge: Qawi Kamri]
I know you wish you were dead
I know you wish you were dead
I know you wish we were done
I know you wish you were dead

[Bridge: Yung Van]
I know you wish you were dead
I know you wish you were dead
I know you wish you were dead
I know you wish you were dead

[Outro: Yung Van & Qawi Kamri]
I can see the storm in your eyes
When you're about to cry, I know why
I can feel the pain in your tears
All of your secrets and fears
