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 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'd 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)
For years and years and years
(All I needed was a shoulder to cry on)
For years and years and years
(All I needed was a shoulder to cry on)
For years and years and years
(All I needed was a shoulder to cry on)
Oh, Oh, Ooooooh
All I needed was a shoulder to cry on
All I needed was a shoulder to cry on
All I needed was a shoulder to cry on
All I needed was a shoulder to cry on
All I needed was a shoulder to cry on
All I needed was a shoulder to cry on
