Song | Cry a River |
Artist | Alter Bridge |
Album | Fortress |
Turn off the lights and close your eyes and tell me what you see | |
I’ll bet it doesn’t have a goddamn thing to do with me | |
There’s nothing left to say | |
I finally know the truth about you | |
You come alive you played it well I was the last to know | |
My premonition was the only thing that let it show | |
I gave you everything | |
But I could never pacify you | |
[Chorus:] | |
So go on and cry me a river | |
Don’t say this will haunt you forever | |
It never did it never will | |
Tear it away I wanna see just what you really are | |
And rip the veil that hides that wretched soul you call a heart | |
This is my agony | |
But I return to stay beside you | |
[Chorus] | |
Vows are not meant to be broken | |
You never cared for a moment | |
You never did you never will | |
Now I know the truth about you | |
All you need I will deny you | |
I’ll be damned to stay beside you | |
[Chorus] | |
All that you see you devour | |
The money the greed and the power | |
You always did you always will | |
Now I know the truth about you | |
All you need I will deny you |
Turn off the lights and close your eyes and tell me what you see | |
I' ll bet it doesn' t have a goddamn thing to do with me | |
There' s nothing left to say | |
I finally know the truth about you | |
You come alive you played it well I was the last to know | |
My premonition was the only thing that let it show | |
I gave you everything | |
But I could never pacify you | |
Chorus: | |
So go on and cry me a river | |
Don' t say this will haunt you forever | |
It never did it never will | |
Tear it away I wanna see just what you really are | |
And rip the veil that hides that wretched soul you call a heart | |
This is my agony | |
But I return to stay beside you | |
Chorus | |
Vows are not meant to be broken | |
You never cared for a moment | |
You never did you never will | |
Now I know the truth about you | |
All you need I will deny you | |
I' ll be damned to stay beside you | |
Chorus | |
All that you see you devour | |
The money the greed and the power | |
You always did you always will | |
Now I know the truth about you | |
All you need I will deny you |
