Cry Ophelia Lyrics

Cry Ophelia lyrics

Performed by Adam Cohen) 

  

 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
