Cure, The - Bare Lyrics






If you've got something left to say
You'd better say it now
Anything but "stay"
Just say it now
We know we've reached the end
We just don't know how
"well at least we'll still be friends"
Yeah one last useless vow...

"there are different ways to live"
Yeah I know that stuff
"other ways to give"
Yeah all that stuff
But holding onto used to be
Is not enough
Memory's not life
And it's not love

We should let it all go
It never stays the same
So why does it hurt me like this
When you say that I've changed?
When you say that I've aged?
Say I'm afraid...

And all the tears you cry
They're not tears for me
Regrets about your life
They're not regrets for me
It never turns out how you want
Why can't you see?
It all just slips away
It always slips away
Eventually...

So if you've got nothing left to say
Just say goodbye
Turn your face away
And say goodbye
You know we've reached the end
You just don't know why
And you know we can't pretend
After all this time

So just let it all go
Nothing ever stays the same
So why does it hurt me like this
To say that I've changed?
To say that I've aged?
Say I'm afraid...

But there are long long nights when I lay awake
And I think of what I've done
Of how I've thrown my sweetest dreams away
And what I've really become
And however hard I try
I will always feel regret
However hard I try
I will never forget

I will never forget

    I'm going to write something that will, most likely, piss off everyone.

    Another heart-breaking song.
    Yes; it's just a creative venture and has nothing to do with RS'S life.

    Bullshit.

    Scores of songs.
    I suppose that this creative outlet improves his life.
    Perhaps these lyrics are merely ... fleeting thoughts.

    What if they aren't?

    These songs are so emotional that it's difficult for me to feel that these gorgeous, heartfelt songs are just fleeting moments in his mind.

    Of course, it's quite possible :(

    I just Wish He could be Happy😕
    XO
    💋

  2. H.... M....

    His voice! Resonance. Message? So clever. So in awe.

  3. C.... S....

    Dulcemente desgarradora 💜
    Robert is a truly genius at writing.

  4. t.... p....

    Whoever came up with this format for a lyric video is a genius. I love how the lines are so illuminated and partially overlap.

  5. D.... P....

    The Cure is.....well.....my cure. Sigh!

  6. P.... R....

    May 10th, 2010.... May 30th, 2010 my son Finlay Oliver was born, a beauty amongst the English. May 31st, 2010 was my 33rd birthday.

  7. A.... G....

    Truly Beautiful... Love them...

  8. z.... ....

    The older I get, the more I regret..............

  9. D.... B....

    Уоу, как можно было так упороться и написать настолько грустную песню

  10. D.... E....

    I will never forget .

  11. G.... S....

    It amazes me how this is basically a deep track song, and yet it has more emotion and meaning in anything you will ever hear in the top 40. A truly underrated song, by one of the greatest lyricists/musicians the world will ever produce.

  12. m.... s....

    Wow! What a beautiful song.

  13. L.... P....

    One of their best song ever. Lyrically, musically, such an incredibile song. And yes, it makes me almost cry..

    This is what happens when you´re all boozed out and have a label deadline to meet.

  19. I.... I....

    Thank you for this; couldn't listen to this song for a long time. It was a painfully much-needed lightbulb, once; a glaring realization in an anonymous crowd of thousands, over two decades ago....just incredible. <3

  20. D.... M....

    one of the best songs in my humble opinion, a favorite one

  21. p.... ....

  25. B.... Z....

    I’m 19- I’m simultaneously grateful for my youth yet sad that I didn’t get to grow up in a time period characterized by more meaningful music

  26. K.... B....

    I will never forget

    This ones for my dog

  27. N.... ....

    Starting over isn't always pleasant. Hearts do heal and souls become whole. Most importantly "Keep the lesson in".

  28. M.... T....

    This is my life.....Really Genius artist!

  29. P.... H....

    Não é uma música, é uma obra de arte <3

    Robert is unleashing the exquisite agony of the inevitability of the emotional self flagellation.after another,but he stresses that one will get 2 close and U heart will be 4ever scarred ,by love

  41. S.... D....

    this song is almost as nearly as old as I -- yet I find it tonight.

    It's not like a little bit of the depression and anxiety we have? The only way to describe how happy he is,well if you can socially drink and drive back home the next stage.... You can see you internal and external,and take that an maybe, just maybe, in a few minutes inside the love and what the hell is going to be good in your life is a better person😴😅...find out and get back to work on it.. you know how much is left in body and soul!

  66. D.... B....

    this song is Amazing...

  98. J.... A....

    thanks for the sweet message. if i had my way i would fly around to many shows (hope to for future shows)!! I used to see him at least 3 times while he is here in CA. Tried to get the Vegas show and meet/greet.....the setlist was sick!! i even planed my italian vacation around his tour dates, then was still lucky enough to catch him in san francisco when i got home. the shows used to be 4 and a 1/2 hours when he had no open act. the stage sets were insanely amazing too. 4th of july was a fab show once, and he even stopped playing to watch the fireworks when they went off.
    even though i am still quite young, i have been obsessed with RS for almost 32 years!! i have so many stories, collective materials, etc. no one will ever or can ever be this talented, with such a distinctive look, which makes all us girls have crushes on him. I call him the modern day mozart, as he can write, arrange and play any insturment. Hope he plays well into his 60's as he soooooooooooo can get away with it. When the cure ends, what a sad, sad day in the universe, that will put a huge whole in all of our hearts who love and adore him. don't you love it when he talks too, i could listen to him all day :)
    Oh Robert, you make us all lose our minds in the BEST way possible!!
