I Cry
Westlife · World Of Our Own [2001]
I fell apart
I fell from all we had
To I never knew, I needed you so bad
You need to let things go
I know, you told me so
I've been through hell
To break the spell
Why did I ever let you slip away
Can't stand another day without you
Without the feeling, I once knew
Chorus
I cry silently
I cry inside of me
I cry hopelessly
Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again
I cry, cause you're not here with me
cause I'm lonely as can be
I cry hopelessly
Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again
If you could see me now
You would know just how,
How hard I try
Not to wonder why
I wish I could believe in something new
Oh, please somebody tell me it's not true(oh girl)
I'll never be over you
Why did I ever let you slip away
Can't stand another day without you
Without the feeling, I once knew
Chorus
If I could have you back tomorrow
If I could lose the pain and sorrow
I would do just anything
To make you see, you still love me
Chorus
I Cry
