Cry Lonely
Echoes of Heartache: Chris Knight's 'Cry Lonely' Unveiled
Lyrics
When the rain runs down your window
Describing a moment when emotions are intense, symbolized by rain running down the window.
And you can't hold back your tears
Expressing the difficulty of holding back tears, suggesting emotional vulnerability.
And you're so afraid to be alone
Conveying fear of solitude and a need for companionship.
You know I'm always right here
Assuring constant availability and support in times of distress.
You cry lonely, and I come runnin'
Acknowledging the partner's emotional distress.
I come to your rescue, I'll chase your blues away
Promising immediate assistance and comfort to alleviate the partner's sadness.
You cry lonely, but you don't really want me
Recognizing that the partner may not genuinely desire the speaker's presence.
And I won't be there one of these days
Anticipating a future where the speaker won't be available to provide support.
You always say your heart is breakin'
Highlighting a recurring pattern of claiming heartbreak.
Then you hear the wolf outside your door
Using a metaphorical wolf symbolizing external threats, possibly suggesting a lack of sincerity.
I know you, you just use me
Accusing the partner of using the speaker until no longer needed.
Till you don't need me anymore
Expressing the awareness of being disposable when the partner's needs are fulfilled.
You cry lonely, and I come runnin'
Reiterating the readiness to offer support when the partner is lonely.
I come to your rescue, I'll chase your blues away
Reassuring the willingness to chase away the partner's sadness.
You cry lonely, but you don't really want me
Emphasizing the partner's potential lack of genuine desire for the speaker.
And I won't be there one of these days
Warning of a future where the speaker won't be available to provide comfort.
Someday when you know you really love me
Suggesting a future realization of genuine love from the partner.
You're gonna cry my name, and I'll be gone
Anticipating a future where the partner regrets not expressing love sooner.
You cry lonely, and I come runnin'
Repeating the commitment to be there for the partner during lonely moments.
I come to your rescue, I'll chase your blues away
Reiterating the offer to provide immediate rescue and solace.
You cry lonely, but you don't really want me
Stressing the partner's potential lack of sincere desire for the speaker.
And I won't be there one of these days
Reinforcing the warning of an impending absence in the future.
I won't be there
Explicitly stating the speaker's absence during a future moment of need.
When you cry my name
Confirming the absence when the partner calls the speaker's name in distress.
I won't be there
Reiterating the speaker's unavailability when the partner seeks support.
When you cry my name
Emphasizing the speaker's absence when the partner cries out for assistance.
