For Crying Out Loud Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When it all comes down
And it all falls apart
And there's no way to win
And you're left with a broken heart
And you can't look down
'Cause it's too far to fall
And you can't look forward to nothing
'Cept looking' back upon it all
[Chorus]
Look up
And cry out
Don't be afraid to rage
Don't be afraid to shout
Look up
For crying out loud
You've both been waiting for this day
For a long time now
Long time now
[Verse 2]
When you can't stand up
And you can't sit still
And you can't get through the night
Without a sleeping pill
And the days drag out
And the nights never end
And you're tired of talking it out
On the phone with all your friends
[Chorus]
Look up
And cry out
Don't be afraid to rage
Don't be afraid to shout
Look up
For crying out loud
You've both been waiting for this day
For a long time now
Long time now
