Cry Lyrics by James Blunt

I’ll Take Everything - The Platinum Collection

2004

[Verse 1]
I have seen peace
I have seen pain
Resting on the shoulders of your name
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?

[Chorus]
And if you want to talk about it anymore
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder
I'm a friend

[Verse 2]
I have seen birth
I have seen death
Lived to see a lover's final breath
Do you see my guilt?
Should I feel a fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?

[Chorus]
And if you want to talk about it once again
On you I depend
I'll cry on your shoulder
You're a friend

[Bridge]
You and I have lived through many things
I'll hold on to your heart
I wouldn't cry for anything
But don't go tearing your life apart

[Verse 3]
I have seen fear
I have seen faith
Seen the look of anger on your face
And if you want to talk about what will be
Come and sit with me and cry on my shoulder
I'm a friend

[Chorus]
And if you want to talk about it anymore
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder
Once again
Cry on my shoulder
I'm a friend
