Lyrics
CRY IT OUT
- Kathleen Strecker ?
VERSE:
What have you lost?
What lines were crossed?
How will your tomorrows forever be changed?
What do people say
Before they look away?
Do they have the heart enough to even meet your gaze?
You?ve been wronged
Someone ripped your world apart
Now go on
And let the tears start
CHORUS:
Cry it out
Never push away the pain
Never wash away the stain
Cry it out
Only stop to breathe
You cry, you grieve
VERSE:
You?re the only one
Who knows what harm?s been done
If they try to hush you, don?t you listen
Cowards always hide
From pain they feel inside
Don?t be scared to break down the walls within
You?ve been wronged
And the pain you won?t let go
Now go on
And let the tears flow
CHORUS:
Cry it out
Never push away the pain
Never wash away the stain
Cry it out
Only stop to breathe
You cry, you grieve
BRIDGE:
You know I?m telling you it hurts like hell
Throw your head back and wail and scream
Kiss yesterday?s life farewell
Loose the floodgates and mourn the dream
CHORUS:
Cry it out
Never push away the pain
Never wash away the stain
Cry it out
Only stop to breathe
You cry, you grieve
Only stop to breathe
You cry, you grieve
Only stop to breathe
