Cry

I find myself
In times of trouble
And all I can do is cry
I find that all
The cares surround me
And all I can do
Is cry
Nothing you can do
Is ever gonna hurt like this
Nothing you can say
Is ever gonna hurt like this
I can't forget the one
Said I can't forget the one
No I can't forget the one
I saw you holding
As your beautiful mouth
Kissed those pouting mouth
I could tell that I was losing
My source of comfort is now fading
And all I can do is cry
Nothing you can do
Is ever gonna hurt like this
Nothing you can say
Is ever gonna hurt like this
And I can't forget the one
I just can't forget the one
Said I can't forget the one
No I can't forget the one
I saw you holding
Why just doesn't matter
What I want to know is when
When did you stop craving
For the nearness of me
And my perfumed smell
When I play with your hair
And the feeling you get
When I touch you
The sun has set
Our love is shaded
And all I can do
Is cry
Nothing you can do
Is ever gonna hurt like this
Nothing you can say
Is ever gonna hurt like this
And I can't forget the one
Said I can't forget the one
No, I can't forget the one
I saw you holding
