I Might Be Crying Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram

What I didn't know back then 

Was that I might be crying 

It's such a simple sentiment 

To steal the show 

And what I didn't know back then 

Is that I might be losing you 

I might be losing you 

Still I wouldn't know 

And now I suck up to the pale moonlight 

Like it's gonna lead me home 

And I shiver in my tired clothes 

As if that could keep me warm 

And now I stare across the dirty river 

And I breathe this dirty air 

And I'm sure upon the bridge I'll see you 

'Cos I dreamt I'd kiss you there 

What I didn't know back then 

Is how great the sin 

How time goes so slowly 

When you're cheating on a friend 

And what I didn't know back then 

Is that I might be needing you 

Yeah, I might be needing you 

The need, it doesn't end 

And now I stare across the dirty river 

And I breathe this dirty air 

And I'm sure upon the bridge I'll see you 

'Cos I dreamt I'd kiss you there 

What I didn't know back then 

Was that I might be crying 

It's such a simple sentiment 

To steal the show
