It's the first day of the year
But I'm not feeling as good as new
I'm waiting for my head to collapse
There's a message that I feared
But I can't hold it back no more
I leave the room to enter the cab

I've had enough to drink for weeks
I've had enough of empathy
Advice and wellintentioned lies

All I needed was a shoulder to cry on

It's your footstaps in the 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 wellintentioned lies

All I needed was a shoulder to cry on
All I needed was a shoulder to cry on
All I needed was a shoulder
Shoulder

I remember years ago
When you was just a kid who wouldn't leave me alone
Who would 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

For years and years and years
For years and years and years
For years and years and years

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
