| �Official Shoulder To Cry On� by Ryan Stanberry and Ashley Ewing Everybody seems to have a problem tonight I�m the official shoulder to cry on I don�t mind I like being a friend It�s just sometimes I�m amazed At how people can force themselves Into situations Forseeing unhappiness. (Pre Chorus) Why say something that you don�t mean? Why hold onto what you know isn�t right for you? That you can feel in your heart is a mistake and untrue? (Chorus) Tonight, I�m the official shoulder to cry on Incidents, mistakes, situations all come down as tears I�m getting soaked now I�m the official shoulder to cry on. I suppose I�m sort of a hypocrite Realized tonight that I�ve been lying to myself as I see fit I guess I take things to seriously Expecting too much from people and myself hourly (Bridge) The fact is I�m unhappy with who I am Not perfect, have flaws which makes me who I am Always room to improve Sometimes your pieces don�t fit together Unless the edges are a little jagged to move. (Pre Chorus) (Chorus) (Outro) Tonight I�m the official shoulder to cry on Goodnight, leaving now, nobody stays Good talking to you as always. |
| "Official Shoulder to Cry On" lyrics were actually written for the most part by a really good friend in Florida, Ashley Ewing, of whom didn't even know she wrote them. I was having a conversation with her one night that she was having a rough week and she told me she just finished posting a blog about it. I went to read it and the title of that particular blog was "Official Shoulder To Cry On". I told her that sounded like a song name. I read the body of the blog and it sounded like it could be turned into a song easily. I went through and songified it by tweaking it here and there but keeping the general message and ended it with something that she always says to me online before signing off. "Good talking to you as always". I've performed this song twice to date and a few have come up with their ezperiences in life relating quite a bit to it. |
