Cry - Slaid Cleaves

New love like a diamond

Like a twinkling star

But it’s a whole lot of heartache

To get to where we are

'Cause every man is a myth

Every woman a dream

Watch your little heart get crushed

When the truth gets in between

Every bond is a bond to sorrow

Your blue sky turns grey

Everything you love will be taken away

Cry for your mama

Cry for your dad

Cry for everything you know they never had

Lyin' in the bed you made

Aw, but you were so young

Say a prayer, put your head down

Gotta prove your mama wrong

There’s no poison like a dream

When it all comes undone

Don’t you know that in the end

You’re not fooling anyone

Every bond is a bond to sorrow

Your blue sky turns grey

Everything you love will be taken away

Cry for your mama

Cry for your dad

Cry for everything you know they never had

You know they never had

Between the rum and the glass

Between the teeth and the tongue

Come December when the lights go out

You know you can’t count on anyone

Between a dream and a lie

Between hope and what’s real

After so many years of 'Let's work it out'

You’d think there’d be some kind of deal

Cry for your mama

Cry for your dad

Cry for everything you know they never had

The love they never had
