Cry

🎧 Cry — Lyrics (Pop / 90s–2000s Emotional Power Ballad)

My voice is thickenin’, I can barely speak

Every memory cuts a little deep

You say it’s nothing, like it’s all okay

But I feel everything you throw away

I’m standing in the heat of what we became

Burning slow, but you don’t feel the same

You move like nothing ever went wrong

While I’m breaking down trying to stay strong

⸻

And I reach for salvation, but it slips through my hands

I’m holdin’ on to something you don’t understand

⸻

It’s sad I deal with all these storms inside

While you stay calm like you’ve got nothing to hide

Like it’s easy watching me fall apart

Like you don’t feel a thing in your heart

And I cry, cry, cry in the silence I keep

While you sleep so peacefully deep

It’s sad I deal with all these troubles, but you feel fine through it

Like you like to see me suffer in it

⸻

(I cry-yi-yi-yi)

(I cry-yi-yi-yi)

Let it break, let it burn, let it fall

⸻

Your words are poison in a pretty tone

You leave me empty when you’re not alone

I try to fix it, but it’s all in vain

You never flinch at my kind of pain

And I don’t know why I still stay here

When every goodbye is already near

But something in me still believes

You could be better than what I see

⸻

And I’m reaching for salvation, but it slips through my hands

I’m begging for a love you don’t understand

⸻

[Final Chorus] (big 2000s pop vocal build)

It’s sad I deal with all these storms inside

While you stay calm like you’ve got nothing to hide

Like it’s easy watching me fall apart

Like you don’t feel a thing in your heart

And I cry, cry, cry in the silence I keep

While you sleep so peacefully deep

It’s sad I deal with all these troubles, but you feel fine through it

Like you like to see me suffer in it

⸻

I’m breaking— I’m shaking— I’m losing control

I reach for salvation but it won’t take my soul

(HIGH NOTE / almost whistle-style run)

I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried…

But you never tried at all

⸻

It’s sad I deal with all these storms inside

While you stay calm like you’ve got nothing to hide

And I cry, cry, cry till my voice turns thin

But you never feel what’s burning within

⸻

And I still cry…
