Lyrics
Just let me cry
(Writer & Composer CC Lamondt)
What do you say that we take a ride?
Somewhere where hurting don't eat us alive
And maybe if you hold my hand I will tell you the truth
Cause I never thought I'd found myself with so much left to loose
Looking at the mirror and I hate this face
Everyday a little more, illness steals my faith
And I wonder if anyone will remember my name
As I tried and tried but couldn't bare the pain
So just let me cry
If I wanna cry
And curse at the world even though I don't know why
Between the anger and the regret
And the million things I still have not yet said
Just let me cry for a while
Till I have to leave and say my last goodbye
Maybe I'm lucky and a little part of me
Taught my children's children how to be free
How to love with abundance be respectful and try
To chase every rainbow and forgive all the lies
Watching them banter with conviction and pride
Seeing their Dad in their smiles and their eyes
Knowing that everyday with them was a gift
Straight from God's arms yet I don't want to leave
So just let me cry
If I wanna cry
And curse at the world even though I don't know why
Between the anger and the regret
And the million things I still have not yet said
Just let me cry for a while
Till I have to leave and say my last goodbye
Bridge:
Just know that I'll miss you till the end of time
Where the shadows meet sunlight in the sky
I wish for you a live even better than mine
But for now
Just let me cry
If I wanna cry
And curse at the world even though I don't know why
Between the anger and the regret
And the million things I still have not yet said
Just let me cry for a while
Before I have to leave and say my last goodbye
Let me cry
Before I have ... to say... goodbye.
