lyrics

When you were crying just now
I’m sorry that I let you down
My inner voice has given out
Those unspoken words weren’t much help
I wish you could hear me scream and shout
So my silence doesn’t nourish your self-doubt
I wanted to soothe your pain but I didn’t quite know how
When you were crying just now

When you were crying back then
I was stuck inside my head
I wanted your heartache to end
But all that you needed was a friend
If only I could’ve been more present
And, difficult as it was, embrace the moment
I’d have done all in my power to erase your torment
When you were crying back then

When I see you crying again
I don’t want to make empty promises
Know that I’ve got two shoulders to lend:
One to carry the load and the other for your cheek to rest
Let’s find solace in the silence
It’s your sorrow that I hope to mend
I just want your heartache to come to an end
When I see you crying again

Your tears won’t drown your sorrow
Your tears won’t dull the pain
Your tears may return tomorrow
But so will my loving embrace
So will my loving embrace
