[Verse 1]
It's a long way down
Barely treading water
Trying to catch my breath, I'm out of my depth
Holding on to bricks
You can't get much colder
Watching these four walls crumble and fall
[Chorus]
How do I let you go
When you're all I've ever known?
I went down to the river to cry
I went down to the river to cry
How do I let you go
When you're all I've ever known?
I went down to the river to cry
I went down to the river, down to the river to cry
[Verse 2]
Drowning in our dreams
Swimming in the fire
Dancing with the flames left in my head
I know life goes on
Everything is changing
With these ocean tides burning my eyes
[Chorus]
How do I let you go
When you're all I've ever known?
I went down to the river to cry
I went down to the river to cry
How do I let you go
When you're all I've ever known?
I went down to the river to cry
I went down to the river, down to the river to cry
[Bridge]
Never wanted you to see me cry
There's no easy way to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Never wanted you to see me cry
There's no easy way to say goodbye
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye
Never wanted you to see me cry
There's no easy way to say goodbye
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Never wanted you to see me cry
There's no easy way to say goodbye
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye
I never wanted you to see me cry
There's no easy way to say goodbye
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
I never wanted you to see me cry
There's no easy way to say goodbye
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye
Say goodbye
[Chorus]
How do I let you go
When you're all I've ever known?
I went down to the river to cry
I went down to the river to cry
How do I let you go
When you're all I've ever known?
I went down to the river to cry
I went down to the river, down to the river to cry

AJ Dean:
Our friend and wonderful songwriter Dee Adam played us a rough demo of ‘River To Cry’ sometime last year. We loved it straight away and decided to mess around with it. Jamming it out in the studio felt incredible and it just became so much fun to play live with the band, as it has this hug...
