One Last Cry

Brian McKnight · Just Me [2011]

My shattered dreams and broken heart

Are mending on the shelf

I saw you holding hands

Standing close to someone else

Now I sit all alone

Wishing all my feeling was gone

I gave my best to you

Nothing for me to do

But have one last cry



Chorus:

One last cry

Before I leave it all behind

I've gotta put you out of my mind this time

Stop living a lie

I guess I'm down to my last cry



I was here, you were there

Guess we never could agree

While the sun shines on you

I need some love to rain on me

Still I sit all alone

Wishing all my feeling was gone

Gotta get over you

Nothing for me to do

But have one last cry



Chorus:

One last cry

Before I leave it all behind

I've gotta put you out of my mind this time

believe lie



I know I gotta be strong

Cause round me life goes on and on and on and on



I'm gonna dry my eyes

Right after I end my one last cry



Chorus:

One last cry

Before I leave it all behind

I've gotta put you out of my mind for the very last time

Been living a lie

I guess I'm down

I guess I'm down

I guess I'm down...

to my last cry
