Lyrics

Don't Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder

La-la, la-la La-la, la-la La-la-la Don't cry, put your head on my shoulder Tell me what happened, my friend God knows how long I've known you It always works out in the end The door is locked, the kettle's screaming And I can't stop this sinking feeling Watching you do this damage to yourself Knowing I can't help But don't cry, put your head on my shoulder Take all the time that you need God knows I'm gonna show ya It's never as bad as it seems It hurts right now but it won't forever We're gonna get through it together You're doing your best And what more can you do? You know I think that you Are gonna be alright, you're gonna be alright Gonna be alright, I feel you're gonna be just fine When this whole world has walked away Come and find me, you're gonna hear me say Don't cry, put your head on my shoulder We'll figure out what to do God knows, have I ever told ya? I'm sorry for what you've been through You're doing your best And what more can you do? Yeah, yeah, it's true, I said La-la, la-la La-la, la-la La, la-la, la-la La-la, la-la La-la-la
