Seven Times Lyrics

Yeah that's a good intro

You didn't pay your rent
So I guess you'll be leaving
You made promises that you won't be keeping
Oh, can't spend my love on living for free now
What he used to be means nothing to me now

All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, I cry and pray
All night and day, all night and day
All night, all day, I cry and pray
I'll cry and pray, all night, all day
All night, all day

You've gotta hold your heart but I don't think you're ready
Could forgive, forget, I know I'd regret it
Oh, so don't hold your breathe because I'm easy breathing
I've gotta find my friends, I guess I'll be leaving, oh

All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, I cry and pray
All night and day, all night and day
All night, all day, I cry and pray
I'll cry and pray, all night, all day
All night, all day

You know it when you know that it's wrong (know that it's wrong)
It's hard to admit it, so you sing along
gotta be strong
Oh, when you feel like you're losing your mind (losing your mind)
You better read between the lines, seven times

All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, all night, all day
All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, I cry and pray
All night and day, all night and day
All night, all day, I cry and pray
I'll cry and pray, all night, all day
All night, all day

All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, all night, all day
All night and day, I cry and pray
All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, all night, all day
(I cry and pray, all night and day)

All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, all night, all day
all night and day, I can cry and pray
All night, all day, all night and day
I can cry and pray
All night, all day

Seven times

The song chronicles the emotional turmoil of a relationship gone awry, where promises were broken and love was taken for granted. Our protagonist finds herself grappling with the pain of unfulfilled commitments and the necessity to move forward. Amidst the tears that flow "all night, all day," there's an undercurrent of strength as she resolves to leave behind what no longer serves her. The repeated mantra of "seven times" symbolizes the rigorous self-reflection required to truly understand one's worth and make peace with letting go. It's an anthem for anyone who has cried and prayed their way through heartache, only to emerge stronger on the other side.
