We Cry

(album: The Script - 2008)

Together we cry
Together we cry

Jenny was a poor girl,
Living in a rich world
Named her baby hope when she was just 14

She was hoping for a better world
For this little girl
But the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree

When she gets that call, Hope's too far gone
Her baby's on the way with nothing left inside
Together we cry

What about the John play,
Could have gone the whole way
Lighting up the stage tryna get a deal

Now he's lighting up the wrong way,
Something for the pain
Man you wanna see this kid he was so fucking unreal

When he gets that call, he's too far gone
Can't get it together to sing one song
And they won't hear tonight
The words of a lullaby

Together we cry
Together we cry
Together we cry
Together we cry

Mary's ambition,
She wanna be a politician
She's been dreaming about it since she was a girl

She thought that she'd be the one who could change the world
Always tryna pave the way for women in a man's world

But life happened, house, kids, two cars,
Husband hits the jar,
Checks that don't go very far now

Now she ain't making changes,
She keeps her mind on her wages
The only rattling cages are her own

Together we cry
Together we cry
Together we cry
Together we cry

There's so much sad gonna flood the ocean
We're all in tears for a world that's broken

Together we cry

There comes a time when every bird has to fly
At some point every rose has to die
It's hard to let your children go, leave home, where they go, who knows?
Getting drunk, getting stoned all alone

Teach a man to fish, feed a man for life
Show your kids the truth, and hope they never lie
Instead of reading in a letter
That they've gone to something better
Bet you're sorry now, I won't be coming home tonight

I'm sick of looking for those heroes in the sky
To teach us how to fly
Together we cry, we cry, we cry

Together we cry
Together we cry

There's so much sad gonna flood the ocean
With all the tears from a world that's broken

Together we cry
Together we cry
Together we cry
Together we cry
