Cry Lyrics
The Veronicas
Lyrics
All my life you've had an opinion
Doin' things for the wrong reasons
Well not today
Don't you know I think for myself
I get out fine without anybody's help
Don't care what you say
I'm breakin' your heart
But I'm breakin' apart
All you do is hold me down
Try to make me someone I don't know
I'm the girl you'd thought you'd found
What would you do if I told you
You can't control my life
And what would you say
If I left today with no regrets and no goodbye
What would you do if I told you
There is no more you and I
What would you say
If I walked away and left you there to cry
I don't know what's coming over you
Or how we fell apart
I tried so hard but I don't believe in you
You're not the guy I thought I knew
What would you do if I told you
You can't control my life
And what would you say
If I left today with no regrets and no goodbye
What would you do if I told you
There is no more you and I
What would you say
If I walked away and left you there to cry
What would you say if I said to you, "Just go ahead and cry!"
