Lyrics
Mama said that I could be whatever I want, Daddy taught me all that I know
I used to tell my family that I'd never leave, but now I think I'm ready to go
Sometimes you gotta take the horse with the carriage, ride until it hangs its head
Sometimes the horse only weighs you down, cause horseshoes are made out of lead
So, cry me a river, cry me a bank, cry into my glass at the dock of the bay
I can be the claw, I can be the shield, every situation or whatever you feel
Make me a sinner, make me a priest, feed me to the lions, show me your teeth
Set me to sea, take me like the tide, cry me a river, drown me alive
Nowadays I'm holding on and taking my time, I used to never want to go back
If you're thinking that you're occupying my mind, I'm sure you're wishing you had
Now I'm in the ends, I'm writing songs, guessing that I'll never find
Someone to hold, someone to love, someone to make me cry
So, cry me a river, cry me a bank, cry into my glass at the dock of the bay
I can be the claw, I can be the shield, every situation or whatever you feel
Make me a sinner, make me a priest, feed me to the lions, show me your teeth
Set me to sea, take me like the tide, cry me a river, drown me alive
Mama said that I could be whatever I want, daddy taught me all that I know
I used to tell my family that I'd never leave, but now I think I'm ready to go
