Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She's taken my time, convinced me she's fine

But when she leaves I'm not so sure

It's always the same, she's playin' her game

And when she goes I feel to blame

[Verse 2]

Why won't she say she needs me?

I know she's not as strong as she seems

[Verse 3]

Why don't I see her cry for help?

Why don't I feel her cry for help?

Why don't I hear her cry for help?

[Verse 4]

I wandered around the streets of this town

Tryin' to find sense in it all

The rain on my face, it covers the trace

Of all the tears I've had to waste

[Verse 5]

Why must we hide emotions?

Why must we never break down and cry?

[Verse 6]

All that I need is to cry for help

Somebody please hear me cry for help

All I can do is cry for help

[Verse 7]

No need to feel ashamed

Release the pain and cry for help

[Verse 8]

Cry for help is all I need

All I need is a cry for help

Cry for help is all I need

All I need is a cry for help

[Verse 9]

Why must we hide emotions?

Why can't we ever break down and cry?

[Verse 10]

All that I need is to cry for help

I will be there when you cry for help

Why don't I hear her cry for help?

[Verse 11]

All that I need is to cry for help

Somebody please hear me cry for help

All I can do is cry for help

[Verse 12]

All that I need is to cry for help

I will be there when you cry for help

Is it so hard to cry for help?

[Verse 13]

Cry for help is all I need

All I need is a cry for help

Cry for help is all I need (No need to feel ashamed)

All I need is a cry for help (Come on and release the pain)

[Verse 14]

Cry for help is all I need (Put your trust in me)

All I need is a cry for help (My love is gonna set you free)

Cry for help is all I need (All I need)

All I need is a cry for help...
