Cry Lyrics
If I had just one tear running down your check
Maybe I could cope maybe I'd get some sleep
If I had just one moment at your expense
Maybe all my misery would be well spent
Could you cry a little
Lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave now I'm wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me
If your love could be caged, honey, I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath that pile of lies you handed me
And you'd hunt and those lies
They'd be all you'd ever find
And that'd be all you'd have to know
For me to be fine
And you'd cry a little
You'd die just a little
And baby I would feel just a little less pain
I gave now from wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me
Give it up baby
A whimper would be fine
Some kind of clue that
You're doing time
Some kind of heartache
Honey give it a try
I don't want pity
I just want what is mine
Maybe I could cope maybe I'd get some sleep
If I had just one moment at your expense
Maybe all my misery would be well spent
Lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave now I'm wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me
And conceal it underneath that pile of lies you handed me
And you'd hunt and those lies
They'd be all you'd ever find
And that'd be all you'd have to know
For me to be fine
You'd die just a little
And baby I would feel just a little less pain
I gave now from wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me
A whimper would be fine
Some kind of clue that
You're doing time
Some kind of heartache
Honey give it a try
I don't want pity
I just want what is mine

I wish I had the backbone to tell my ex this.
I love this song. It's so true too. It's like, after you break up with someone or they break up with you, somehow it's a strange comfort to know that they're feeling pain too. That way you know that you really did mean something to them. And if they don't seem like it affected them at all, it hurts so much because you start thinking 'maybe they didn't care', 'maybe they never really loved me', 'i'm not as good as him/her'. I think we all are just a little sadistic when it comes to things like this. The other person feeling pain just SOMEHOW in us, makes the pain tolerable. Shared sorrow if half sorrow.
OMG it is soo true...its so comforting to know you arent the only one in pain...this is a great song
i just heard that faith hill bought the rights to this song and its gonna be the first single of her next cd. i guess that means its gonna be pretty big.
I love both Faith and Angie's version. Each has something special that makes it all that different. A beautiful song.
i love this song. it fits perfectly with how i feel about someone who just ended it with me. even though we weren't together long, there is along of long and at time painful history
this song is like a bad divorce where the blame is tossed back and forth. damn... i shoulda sang this to my ex when he married his new wife! he would have hit the roof with anger!
This song IS about a divorce. His divorce...Angie was heartbroken because he really loved her and hated that it ended...
