Cry Me a River

The clouds are heavy the sky is low

Your words are sharp they cut they show

The flood is rising in my chest

I tried to swim but I confessed

Every tear a drop of truth

Every sigh a stolen youth

Cry me a river let it flow

Let it drown the lies we know

Cry me a river deep and wide

Wash away the love that died

Your voice is thunder your silence rain

Every echo a brand-new pain

I held my breath but the storm stayed

The levee broke the price was paid

The water whispers it doesn't lie

It tells the secrets we let die

So let it pour let it stream

Drown the ghosts of every dream

Cry me a river let it flow

Let it drown the lies we know

Cry me a river deep and wide

Wash away the love that died
