Matt Elliott - The Right to Cry lyrics

You are the prisoner And you are the guard You are the one who constructed the bars And despite this protection You still end up scarred 'Cause people are people, they are who they are I was no better or worse than the fray Who did conspire to take you and hide you away But I never wanted you to suffocate Or bury you under, I never once said a... Lie in your own bed The one that you've made there Wrap yourself up in the comfort of despair That way you need never share You'll never be forced to care You can just sit there an stare At your own beautiful hair Because there's little else there When your world comes crashing down Don't ever think back, and don't remember me And all the things we could have seen Those days were long ago and things were different then And when your world comes crashing down Your looks have faded and only worry lines remain Expression lost and drained Your pa**ions unfulfilled just an empty shell remains And when, when your world comes crashing down don't cry Don't look down You should dry Those once pretty eyes 'Cause you have lost the right The right to cry Hold me like you used to do again Hold me like you used to do my friend Again... I was only saying Perhaps I went too far I was only praying That you would invite me to, invite me to your arms I was only saying Perhaps it's time for me, it's time for me to leave I was only praying That somehow you would look behind my eyes and you would see But you don't But you don't But you don't I'm haunted by the things that we left behind And try as I might I just can't get you out of my mind You read all the wrong signs Projection, projection, projection, but they weren't right You'll find given the time That I was all of the things you were trying to find
