Cry Lyrics - Everything You Love Will Be Taken Away - Slaid Cleaves

New love like a diamond 

Like a twinkling star 

But it's a whole lot of heartache 

To get to where we are 

'Cause every man is a myth 

Every woman a dream 

Watch your little heart get crushed 

When the truth gets in between 

Every bond is a bond to sorrow 

Your blue sky turns grey 

Everything you love will be taken away 

Cry for your mama 

Cry for your dad 

Cry for everything you know they never had 

Lyin' in the bed you made 

Aw, but you were so young 

Say a prayer, put your head down 

Gotta prove your mama wrong 

There's no poison like a dream 

When it all comes undone 

Don't you know that in the end 

You're not fooling anyone 

Every bond is a bond to sorrow 

Your blue sky turns grey 

Everything you love will be taken away 

Cry for your mama 

Cry for your dad 

Cry for everything you know they never had 

You know they never had 

Between the rum and the glass 

Between the teeth and the tongue 

Come December when the lights go out 

You know you can't count on anyone 

Between a dream and a lie 

Between hope and what's real 

After so many years of 'Let's work it out' 

You'd think there'd be some kind of deal 

Cry for your mama 

Cry for your dad 

Cry for everything you know they never had 

The love they never had
