Would You Cry?

from The Man Behind The Music by Prince Pheonix

about

Written in collaboration with one 'Lady Sia', I'm lost how to describe this song to you as she gave me a poem by the same name, that she had penned and handed over control as to how it would fit to music, so I messed around with the words but kept the style and this song was born.

I get the feeling that it speaks about a person who's lost in a relationship and tired of being ignored and pushed to the wayside for other things that isn't as important, yet is thought to be so.

So motto is as always, don't let yourself be messed round, You're a person too and you matter, if you need to remind your partner of that fact, then consider whether this person is the one you want to be with forever.

lyrics

(W-w-would you cry?)
(W-w-would you cry?)

If I was left alone from the start would it hurt this much?
When you came to reach for my hand
Should I have pulled away to avoid your touch?
I believed your words and I fell again
Now I'm left to wonder if you can even feel
(Would you cry?)
If you can feel anything at all
(Would you cry?)

My touch, the embraces, my heart breaking as I'm frozen in place
Can you tell me would you feel it, would you?

If I was to leave today would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If I fell in a hole and was lost would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If I was lying in a hospital bed, bleeding from my head
Would you cry? (W-w-would you cry?)
If i was to sleep forever would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If I was gone never to return would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If i was gonna end it all today
Slit my throat and say: "I'm never coming back" (Would you cry?)
Would you cry?

(W-w-would you cry?)
(W-w-would you cry?)

Standing in front of you, am I so invisible?
Becoming a ghost of your past
Pale and cold how I miss your warmth
Can't you feel me, reaching for your cold and shadowed face?
Can't you feel anything at all?!

My touch, the embraces, my heart breaking as I'm frozen in place
Can you tell me would you feel it, would you?

If I was to leave today would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If I fell in a hole and was lost would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If I was lying in a hospital bed, bleeding from my head
Would you cry? (W-w-would you cry?)
If i was to sleep forever would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If I was gone never to return would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If i was gonna end it all today
Slit my throat and say: "I'm never coming back" (Would you cry?)
Would you cry?

Your porcelain doll, my face frozen within these tears
How long has it been, since you noticed my fears
Cracked and broken, I'm losing my mind
I don't think I can stay like this till the end of time

If I was to leave today would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If I fell in a hole and was lost would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If I was lying in a hospital bed, bleeding from my head
Would you cry? (W-w-would you cry?)
If i was to sleep forever would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If I was gone never to return would you cry? (Would you cry?)
If i was gonna end it all today
Slit my throat and say: "I'm never coming back" (Would you cry?)
"I'm never coming back" (Would you cry?)
"No, I'm never coming back" (Would you cry?)
Would you cry?

Would you cry? (Would you cry?)
Would you cry? (Would you cry?)
Would you cry? (Would you cry?)
Would you cry?

Began to write music upon turning 12, Starting a debut album Birth Of The Bird near the time my grandma passed on. Consisting of songs based on real life events that happened during early 2008, with later albums, continuing along that theme. I produce songs that are full of emotion, so they end up becoming stories more than songs. ... more
