Alter Bridge - Cry A River lyrics

Turn off the lights, just close your eyes

And tell me what you see

I bet it doesn't have a God damn thing to do with me

There's nothing left to say

I finally know the truth about you

You covered all, you played it well

I was the last to know

My premonition was the only thing that let it show

I gave you everything, but I could never pacify you

(Chorus)

So go on and cry me a river

Don't say this will haunt you forever

It never did, it never will

Tear it away, I wanna see

Just what you really are

And rip the veil

That hides that wretched stone you call a heart

This is my agony

Well, I'll be damned to stay beside you

So go on and cry me a river

Don't say this will haunt you forever

It never did, it never will

Vows are not meant to be broken

You never cared for a moment

You never did, you never will

Now I know the truth about you

All you need I will deny you

I'll be damned to stay beside you

So go on and cry me a river

Don't say this will haunt you forever

It never did, it never will

All that you see, you devour

The money, the greed, and the power

You always did, you always will

(Solo)

Now I know the truth about you

All you need I will deny you
