Slaid Cleaves Cry
New love's like a diamond, like a twinkling star
But it's a whole lot of heartache to get to where we
are.
'Cause every man is a myth, every woman a dream
Watch your little heart get crushed, and the truth gets
in between.
Every bond is a bond to sorrow, blue sky turns grey
Everything you love will be taken away.
Cry for your momma, cry for your dad.
Cry for everything you know they never had.
Lying in the bed you made, ah but you were so young.
Say a prayer, put your head down, gotta prove your
momma wrong.
There's no poison like a dream, when it all comes
undone
Don't you know that in the end your not fooling anyone.
Every bond is a bond to sorrow, every blue sky fades to
grey
Everything you love will be taken away.
Cry for your momma, cry for your dad.
Cry for everything you know they never had.
You know they never had
Between the rum and the glass, between the teeth and
the tongue.
Come December when the lights go out, you know you
can't count on anyone.
Between a dream and a lie, between hope and what's
real,
After so many years of let's work it out, you think
there'd be some kind of a deal.
Cry for your momma, cry for your dad.
Cry for everything you know they never had.
Cry for your momma, cry for your dad.
Cry for everything you know they never had.
A love they never had.
A love they never had.
You know they never had.
Cry.....
