  • 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"

    And through the ebbs and flows
    Life is a push and pull
    But for a tree to grow
    Sometimes it just has to rain

    It's not for nothin', feelin' 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

    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

    '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)

    It's not for nothin', feelin' 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)

    It's not for nothin', feelin' 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', feelin' 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
