Berikut lirik lagunya:

[Verse 1]

I promise I'm not tryna scare you

I know this life can be a lot

And you'll get caught up in your thoughts

Like my father, but he told me

"Whatever hurt you come across

You better get up when you fall down"

[Pre-Chorus]

And through the ebbs and floes

Life is a push and pull

But for a tree to grow

Sometimes it just has to rain

[Chorus]

It's not for nothin', feeling somethin'

You know everybody cries

Cry, cry, cry

It doesn't matter, you don't have to ever keep it all inside

Cry, cry, cry

[Verse 2]

It's all around you (All around you), like a lasso (Like a lasso)

So if you're ever filled with doubt

There is a line to pull you out

From the pressure that consumes you (Consumes you)

Oh, I know you've seen it all

But know that you can always call me

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause through the ebbs and flows (Ebbs and flows)

Life is a push and pull (Push and pull)

But for a tree to grow

Sometimes it just has to rain (Has to rain)

[Chorus]

It's not for nothin', feeling somethin'

You know everybody cries

Cry, cry, cry (Cry)

It doesn't matter, you don't have to ever keep it all inside (Inside)

Cry, cry, cry (Cry, cry)

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

It's not for nothin', feeling somethin'

You know everybody cries

Cry (Make me cry), cry, cry (Cry, cry, cry)

It doesn't matter, you don't have to

Ever keep it all inside

Cry, cry, cry (Sometimes it just has to rain, has to rain)

It's not for nothin', feeling somethin'

You know everybody cries (Cry)

Cry, cry, cry (No, it doesn't matter, no)

It doesn't matter, you don't have to

Ever keep it all inside

Cry, cry, cry
