Dalam melodi yang menyayat hati, "Tonight I Wanna Cry" karya Keith Urban mengungkapkan kesedihan yang mendalam setelah ditinggal oleh orang yang dicintai. Lirik lagu ini menggambarkan malam-malam yang kesepian dengan kenangan masa lalu yang menyakitkan, mengitari sang penyanyi seperti hantu yang tak kunjung pergi. Tersiksa oleh rasa kehilangan yang tak tertahankan, sang penyanyi bergumul dengan emosinya yang tertekan, merindukan masa-masa yang telah berlalu dan perihnya terluka.
Tonight I Wanna Cry Lyrics
Keith Urban
Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away
[Chorus:]
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
Would it help if I turned a sad song on
"All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way
[Repeat chorus twice]
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away
[Chorus:]
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
Would it help if I turned a sad song on
"All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way
[Repeat chorus twice]
