Adam Cohen Cry Ophelia Lyrics

Cry Ophelia Lyrics

Something went wrong

You are not laughing

It's not so easy now to get
your smile

You gotta be stong

To walk these streets

And keep from
falling

But when you're not, just let yourself cry 



You've been
working hard

Just trying to pay the rent

Tryin' to draw the line
between who you are

and who you invent

But if you throw a
stone

Something's gonna shatter somewhere

We're all so
fragile

We're all so scared 



You say you wanna learn how to live
your life

without tears

But we've been trying to do that for thousands
of years

So go on and cry Ophelia

It's the only thing to do
sometimes

You know I'm crying too

Right there with you

It's alright
Ophelia

Everybody cries



Thank god for my bad memory

I've
forgotten some of the stupid things

that I've done

I've come to a
little wisdom

through a whole lot of failure

So I watch more carefully
what rolls off my tongue



You pray for rain

But you don't want it
from a storm

You find a rose

And cut your finger on a thorn

So go
on and cry Ophelia

It's the only thing to do sometimes

You know I'm
crying too

Right there with you

It's alright Ophelia

Everybody
cries Ophelia
