🎧 Cry — Lyrics (Pop / 90s–2000s Emotional Power Ballad)
[Verse 1]
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
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
And I reach for salvation, but it slips through my hands
I’m holdin’ on to something you don’t understand
⸻
[Chorus]
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
⸻
[Post-Chorus / Vocal Run Section]
(I cry-yi-yi-yi)
(I cry-yi-yi-yi)
Let it break, let it burn, let it fall
⸻
[Verse 2]
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
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
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
⸻
[Bridge – Big Vocal Moment / High Notes]
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
⸻
[Final Chorus – Key Change Optional]
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
⸻
[Outro – Soft]
And I still cry…
