A Shoulder to Cry On Lyrics

It's the first day of the year,
I'm not feeling as good as new.
I'm waiting for my head to collapse.
There's the message that I feared and I can't hold it back no more.
I leave the room to enter the gap.
I've had enough to drink for weeks.
I've had enough of empathy,
Advice and well-intentioned lies.
All I needed was a shoulder to cry on.

It's your footsteps in the hall, it's your arm reaching out for me.
I'm prepared to let down my guard.
No longer care about the fall now the pain is all over me.
I feel like there's a hole in my heart.
I've had enough to drink for weeks.
I've had enough of empathy,
Advice and well-intentioned lies.
All I needed was a shoulder to cry on.
All i needed was a shoulder to cry on.
All I needed was your shoulder.
Shoulder.

I remember years ago when you were just a kid who wouldn't leave me alone.
Who would have thought you'd dry my tears?
Now the tables have turned.
I wonder if you'd look up to a king with no throne.
I hope we'll keep this running for years.
All i needed was a shoulder to cry on. (x6)
(For years and years and years.
For years and years and years.
For years and years and years.)
Oh, Oh, Ooooooh.

All i needed was a shoulder to cry on. (6x)
