Lyrics
I can’t believe the things you said
Right now I wish that you would try
Try to stay near me
Try to be near me
Before I cry
Cause I am gonna need a well
To catch the pain and lift the spell
That you will hear me
Can you try and hear me?
Before I cry
Hurry up hurry up Before
I lose you Hurry up hurry up
Woah woah
Before you lose me too Hurry up hurry up
Woah woah
Before I change my mind
Cause I’m gonna cry if you say you don’t need me
I’m gonna cry if you act like you don’t care
Promise me baby you know I can’t fake it
Why don’t you hold me
Tell me you love me
Before I cry
Before I cry
Could you please find another way
I start to think that I’m insane
Tryin’ to stay here
Let me just lay here
Before I cry
Hurry up hurry up
Before I lose you
Woah woah
Hurry up hurry up
Before you lose me too
Woah woah
Hurry up hurry up Before
I change my mind
Woah woah
Cause I’m gonna cry if you say you don’t need me
I’m gonna cry if you act like you don’t care
Promise me baby you know I can’t fake it
Why don’t you hold me?
Tell me you love me
Before I cry
Before I cry
I’m ‘bout to lose it
It’s got so confusin’
Am I just repeatin’ myself?
Say somethin’ lovin’ to me before I crumble Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Cause I’m gonna cry if you say you don’t need me
I’m gonna cry if you act like you don’t care
Promise me baby you know
I can’t fake it
Why don’t you hold me?
Tell me you love me
Before I cry
Before I cry
Before I cry
Have I said what I needed to say
Have you said what you wanted to say
Did you say what you wanted to say
Would you try and stop me
Before I cry
