Story Behind The Song

My boyfriend had spent almost two years separated from his kids because his ex would not allow him to see them. It was painful and frustrating for him and I wanted him to know I understood how he felt, however, there were no real words to express the pain. Thus..I can only cry..in showing him I understood his pain.

Lyrics

I Can Only Cry

I wish that I could walk in your shoes

I wish that I could feel all the things you do.

I wish that I could know, how deep this pain goes

But I can only cry....and I just don't know why.


I wish I only knew the right things to say

I wish there was a price, I would gladly pay

I wish that I could take....these things that make you break.

But I can only cry....and I just don't know why.

Chorus:

I can see it there...it's on your face, what my touch can not erase

And no matter how much love I give, the void just goes on and on and on.....


I wish that I could turn back the hands of time

I wish that I could bring truth into the lies

I wish with all I am, that I could understand

But I can only cry....and I just don't know why.

Bridge:
And somewhere down the road, you might share the load
And give me all the pain, so that you can smile again.
