Cry Me A River by: Jaay Dee Kayy

All these years later and you feel no remorse,

Even when I got strong enough to lift up my voice;

Oh, I did my best to clear my head, it's off my chest, I freed my spirit,

Still I cried so many nights I overflooded like the Nile River;

 

So cry me a river, 

It's the least you could do for the damage you've done;

For the crimes you've committed,

Just start building me a bridge so I can finally move on;

 

Well since you feel our parts was equal, can we please just share the pain?

Let's share disgust and fear that boils all the blood inside my veins,

Cause like a perp and vic relationship the roles are just the same,

No, like a perv and kid relationship the kid's the one to blame;

 

Let's slow it down, I can't use that analogy, 

Cause we were both minors at the time that it was happening,

But I was too young to use my mind in actuality,

So you're just as sick as anyone else that was not a kid, so cry..

(Back to chrs.)
 

Outro:

Ice around my heart, heart made of stone, blue and white, the colors of ice;

Cut my heart in half, to reveal the pain inside,

My heart doesn't bleed blood, but the paintings in the sky;

You are in denial, blue and white like in the Nile,

Making glass from the sands of time, so a river you will cry;

I'm shattered...
