I Cry Lyrics by Luka Mwango

Dear Future Wife

2017

[Intro: Kamota & Luka]
I stand on the other side of it
Hoping it will fall
This wall
Keeping from the inner most parts of your soul
Maybe you live by that—real men don't cry
Well, I don’t need you to be real
I need you to be true
I can't do us if there is no you
If you cry me a river, I will drown in your love

[Verse 1: Luka]
Honestly, sometimes the only motivation speech I need
Is your fingers in between the spaces on mine
Holding my hand when pain clouds the sight of my mind
And the only soothing voice I need
Is your arms wrapping themselves around me
Sharing the warmth of your love—
When the winter of failure dares to bury me in a coffin of ice
So don't you!
Don’t you dare say you love me
Just look at me with those big eyes
And let me dance in the sanctuary of being so wanted—
Death cannot afford the price tag
To purchase me from the store of your life
Silence…

[Verse 2: Luka]
You said: “If you're so vulnerable, how come I don't see you cry?”
And I said, “Baby. Baby
I cry in the way I look at you walk away from me each time you leave
I cry in the way I can't focus on anything after we've had those big arguments
Where I love my ego more than I love you
I cry in the way I can't give you any breathing space
When you give me the silent treatment
'Cause I want to suffocate you in my charm and presence
Kill every doubt in your mind that I don't love you—
And resurrect your confidence in me
I cry in the way I act
Like a jerk each time I see you on the arm of another man
Forgive me, I’m just trying to steal the spot-light
Handcuffed by your disappointment in me
Arrested by your embarrassment
And imprisoned in your memory
Any space in your mind is worth doing the time"
And you said you’d know if I truly loved you—
If I was vulnerable and trusting enough to cry in front of you
But I do cry
Just not with tears running down my cheek
But with the way my emotions bleed in your absence
And maybe
And maybe the day you say, 'Luka, I love you’
I will cry with my eyes
For I have dedicated my tears not to that which makes me sad
But to that which makes me happy above everything else."
