The Day You Cried
US5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've seen the pain I caused, It's hard for me to lie
I didn't mean to make you cry

We could've built a castle high up in the sky
But the love we shared is somewhere far away

[Chorus]
How deep is your love, girl I can't deny?
The pain that I feel you're the reason why
If only I could've known that I could be so wrong
How deep is love, I can see it inside
The times you cried and stayed by my side
I finally realized, the day you cried

I've lived and learned, some painful lessons in my life
And girl, the truth I can't deny

Just give me one more chance to make this turn out right
Cause I need you here forever in my life

[Chorus]

I feel your pain, I need your touch
I see the truth inside these tearful eyes
I know next time, I'll make it up to you
I can't live without you
I swear I'll be true
Girl all that I need, is to be where you are





[Chorus: x2]
