Matt Elliott – The Right To Cry lyrics

You are the prisoner
And you are the guard
You are the one who constructed the bars
And despite this protection
You still end up scarred
Cos people are people
They are who they are
I was no better or worse than the fray
Who did conspire to take you and hide you away
But I never wanted you to suffocate
Or burry you under I never once said a......
Lie in your own bed
The one that you've made there
Wrap yourself up in the comfort of despair
That way you need never share
You'll never be forced to care
You can just sit there an stare
At your own beautiful hair
Because there's little else there
When your world comes crashing down
Don't ever think back
And don't remeber me
And all the things we could have seen
Those days were long ago and things were different then
And when your world comes crashing down
Your looks have faded and only worry lines remain
Expression lost and drained
Your passions unfulfilled just an amply shell remains
And when, when your world comes
Crashing down don't cry
Don't look down
You should dry
Those once pretty eyes
Cos you have lost the right
The right to cry
Hold me like you used to do again
Hold me like you used to do my friend
Again..........
I was only saying
Perhaps I went too far
I was only praying
That you would invite me to your arms
I was only saying
Perhaps it's time for me to leave
I was only praying
That somehow you would look behind
My eyes and you would see
But you don't
I'm haunted by the things that we left behind
And try as I might I just can't get you out of my mind
You read all the wrong signs
Projection projection projection but they weren't right
You'll find given the time
That I was all of the things you were trying to find
