if i cried
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.
Hello, hello, call me cold, call me icy
I've been buildin' up a wall to protect my heart
I get nervous to reveal what's inside me
I'm lookin' at you, I'm tellin' the truth
'Cause I wanna show you sides that you ain't seen
But I'm scared in case you run when I fall apart
Think I'm ready to reveal what inside me
I'm lookin' at you, now tell me the truth, yeah, yeah
So if I cried, would you do anything to keep me safe?
Would you stand by, or would my honesty make you afraid?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you?
So if I cried, would you do anything to feel my pain?
Would you stand by or would you hide and slowly fade away?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you?
Would you understand how I feel?
Would you give me patience? Be real
Make me smile, keep the water so still
Oh, would you make sure I was alright?
Would you wrap your arms all around my body, so tight?
I need these things to feel okay with you
Now tell me the truth, yeah
So if I cried, would you do anything to keep me safe?
Would you stand by or would my honesty make you afraid?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you?
So if I cried, would you do anything to feel my pain?
Would you stand by or would you hide and slowly fade away?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you?
If I, if I, if I, if I, if I
If I, if I, if I, if I, if I
If I, if I, if I, if I, if I
If I, if I, if I, oh-oh
If I, if I, if I, if I
So if I cried, would you do anything to feel my pain?
Would you stand by or would hide and slowly fade away?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you? (If I, if I, if I, if I, if I)
So if I cried, would you do anything to feel my pain?
Would you stand by or would you hide and slowly fade away?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you?
