Somebody, Let Me Cry

Somebody, let me cry
Before my body bursts
Before I lose the chance
 
Somebody, let me cry
To give me some release
To allow me to dance
 
Somebody, get to know me
Before I start to doubt
Before I grow too old
 
Somebody, get to know me
To give me reason to speak
To give me someone to hold
 
Somebody, read my lips
Before they even move
Before my soul turns gray
 
Somebody, read my lips
To bring me to peace
To let me see today
 
Somebody, tell your story
Before I wander off
Before I tell my own
 
Somebody, tell your story
To help me understand
To help us both feel known
 
Somebody, explain it all
Before the crisis comes
Before my mind shuts down
 
Somebody, explain it all
To give me any comfort
To erase my permanent frown
 
Somebody, take my hand
Before I take the pills
Before I take my life
 
Somebody, take my hand
To squeeze away the doubts
To touch my sweat and end this strife
 
Somebody, please, look me in the eyes
Before I fade away
Before I’m no longer here
 
Somebody, please, look me in the eyes
I need you
To free a lonesome tear
 
Somebody, let me cry
Before the time has past
Before it gets too hard
 
Somebody, let me cry
To love and accept this life
Even when it’s hard
