Cry
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lighten up my darkness, heavy my soul
You change everything with a word, you’re in control
Swin to the stars, against the flow
Like waves of the ocean, you come and go
But in my life, the seeds I’ve sowed
And all these feelings, oh they crash and roll
Do you want me to cry
Do you want me to fly
Can you show me a sign
Because I don’t know why
Oh is it written in stone
I gave you my throne
You wanted to ride
Girl you gotta decide
Do you want me to cry
You look away, as I say
My wheels are spinning, turning around everyday
Always on my mind, in the nighttime
Change everything in my world, I want to survive
Do you want me to cry
Do you want me to fly
Can you give me a sign
Because I don’t know why
Oh is it written in stone
I gave you my throne
You wanted to ride
Girl you gotta decide
oh yeah Do you want me to cry
You always gonna try to get what you want
You’re always gonna fight me, oh yeah
You’re always gonna play all of your games
Yes it’s frightening, oh yeah
What you gonna do when sun shines bright
the storm is over, oh yeah
What you gonna do at the rainbows end
It’s beautiful, oh yeah
Do you want me to cry
Do you want me to fly
Can you give me a sign
Because I don’t know why
Oh is it written in stone
I gave you my throne
You wanted to ride
Girl you gotta decide
Do you want me to cry
Do you want me to fly
Can you show me a sign
Because I don’t know why
Oh is it written in stone
I gave you my throne
You wanted to ride
Girl you gotta decide, yeah oh
Do you want me to cry
