Cry

Mandy Moore

I'll always remember
it was late afternoon
It lasted forever
But ended so soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed

In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

Walking home alone today, it poured
Cars whizzed past, oblivious of a shivering soul
To some people, rain may be a refresher
But to me, rain brings back pain and loneliness

It's okay if you're sitting by the hearth, listening to the gentle pit-pat-pit on the rooftops
But when you're alone and it's dark...
It's scary

It was late in September
And I'd seen you before
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed

In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

Sometimes all you want is someone to hold an umbrella for you, to lend you a jacket
But it's become nearly impossible
I've basically lost all hope

I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything
Alright

I used to believe rain was the sign of God crying because of the Earth
I used to ask myself what I did wrong
Now all I know is that rain opens a floodgate of emotions

I'll always remember...
It was late afternoon......
in places no one will find

In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

Sometimes, we need that.

I think i saw you cry
The moment i saw you cry
I wanted to know you
