Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I promise I’m not tryna scare you
I know this life can be a lot
And you’ll get caught up in your thoughts
Like my father, but he told me
“Whatever hurt you come across
You better get up when you fall down”
[Pre-Chorus]
And through the ebbs and flows
Life is a push and pull
But for a tree to grow
Sometimes it just has to rain
[Chorus]
It’s not for nothin’, feeling somethin’
You know everybody cries
Cry, cry, cry
It doesn’t matter, you don’t have to ever keep it all inside
Cry, cry, cry
[Verse 2]
It’s all around you (All around you), like a lasso (Like a lasso)
So if you’re ever filled with doubt
There is a line to pull you out
From the pressure that consumes you (Consumes you)
Oh, I know you’ve seen it all
But know that you can always call me
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause through the ebbs and flows (Ebbs and flows)
Life is a push and pull (Push and pull)
But for a tree to grow
Sometimes it just has to rain (Has to rain)
[Chorus]
It’s not for nothin’, feeling somethin’
You know everybody cries
Cry, cry, cry (Cry)
It doesn’t matter, you don’t have to ever keep it all inside (Inside)
Cry, cry, cry (Cry, cry)
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
It’s not for nothin’, feeling somethin’
You know everybody cries
Cry (Make me cry), cry, cry (Cry, cry, cry)
It doesn’t matter, you don’t have to
Ever keep it all inside
Cry, cry, cry (Sometimes it just has to rain, has to rain)
It’s not for nothin’, feeling somethin’
You know everybody cries (Cry)
Cry, cry, cry (No, it doesn’t matter, no)
It doesn’t matter, you don’t have to
Ever keep it all inside
Cry, cry, cry
