Lyrics
Shoulder To Cry On
Incognito Written by Aundrea Alexander Radford
Performed by Paper Heart
Sometimes I feel you’ve been trying to tell me
Why we shouldn’t be together
Maybe we were too young, or we went to fast
Or that nothing lasts forever
For a while you tried to just be with one man
Even though you had eyes behind your head
Eventually, you decided to turn around
Next then I knew you were with him instead.
What happens to the one you always ran too
Who comforts them when they’re alone?
What happens to the one who was always there
Who says hello when they pick up the phone?
Who’s my shoulder to cry on when it happens to me?
Who helps wipe away my tears before I go to sleep?
Who’s my shoulder to cry on when it happens to me?
Who helps me get over you, when my world gets too…?
I should have listened when you tried to tell me
That you were feeling empty inside
Maybe being in a relationship made you sad
Maybe being one of two wasn’t your type of ride
For a while you tried to just be with one man
Even though you had eyes behind your head
Eventually you decided to turn around
Next then I knew you were with him instead.
What happens to the one you always ran too
Who comforts them when they’re alone?
What happens to the one who was always there
Who says hello when they pick up the phone?
Who’s my shoulder to cry on when it happens to me?
Who helps wipe away my tears before I go to sleep?
Who’s my shoulder to cry on when it happens to me?
Who helps me get over you, when my world gets too…?
Who’s my shoulder to cry on when it happens to me?
Who helps wipe away my tears before I go to sleep?
Who’s my shoulder to cry on when it happens to me?
Who helps me get over you, when my world gets too deep?
You tried to make me decide how it should end
Should I be mad at you or let you leave on your own
I can’t tell you how to let me down
Just don’t expect me to ever answer the phone
For a while you tried to just be with one man
Even though you had eyes behind your head
Eventually, you decided to turn around
Next then I knew you were with him instead.
And what happens to the one you always ran too
Who comforts them when they’re alone?
What happens to the one who was always there
Who says hello when they pick up the phone?
Who’s my shoulder to cry on when it happens to me?
Who helps wipe away my tears before I go to sleep?
Who’s my shoulder to cry on when it happens to me?
Who helps me get over you, when my world gets too…?
Who’s my shoulder to cry on when it happens to me?
Who helps wipe away my tears before I go to sleep?
Who’s my shoulder to cry on when it happens to me?
Who helps me get over you, when my world gets too deep?
