Cry

lyrics

Left alone in my youngest days
An old man meant to keep me safe
But one day he woke me up instead

And so I asked him, what do you want from me?
But no response, sir, what do you want from me?
Oh he was ruthless, what do you want from me, do you want from me, do you want?

The walls are white, I've been stuck inside
All my life
They've got the devil's eyes, and I don't know why
But it rhymes

Left alone at my dumbest age
A girl who'd never learned restraint
Next thing I knew, she'd caught me in her head

And so I asked her, what do you want from me?
But no boundaries, bitch, what do you want from me?
Oh she was reckless, what do you want from me, do you want from me, do you want?

The walls are white, I've been stuck inside
All my life
There's no place left to hide, they've both got devil's eyes
'Cause it rhymes

Ooh...

The years are passing me by, the fear is kicking in
I've never been like the rest, who all just wanted skin
See, I'm afraid of the bed, twice was I forced in it
And when you see me again, walls will be caving in

One day I recall the eyes, after a decade
A battered mind in the making just to wear away
Too sensitive to make sense of simple child's play
World shaken at three-years-old, tell me what's left to gain

But there's sight of the beloved, it has yet to fade
And I'm not letting it go, it's here I want to stay
I've never known warmth like this, feels like I might erupt
But if it's here I'll remain, then I won't give it up
