Analysis of I cried
I cried last night
I haven’t cried in a long time
I had a lot of things on my brain
A lot of things going through my mind
I cried last night
It was worth the release
Two and a half months glued to my house
Got me feeling like I’m a caged beast
I cried last night
With no one to be there for me
Everybody got their problems
Well what about me
I cried last night
I’ve formed a river from tears
A river so long
It’ll flow for years
I cried last night
And it might not be the last
Everyday I wake up
I try leaving yesterday in the past
I cried last night
I cried and cried
Tears rolled down my cheeks
From the webs in my eyes that I couldn’t hide
I cried last night
Nobody will feel my pain
Pain so bad
That it’s drives me insane
I cried last night
And I’ll cry again
There shall be new problems to come
So let the journey begin…
