Few years ago, Hell's Kitchen, Gotham 2 am walking nothing in site quiet silent, heard somebody crying
Dipped into an alley saw a figure in the corner
Down on the floor back against eye wall hands over his ears screaming it was too much to bear
I approached him slowly i was like "what's up homey?"
He looked up saw me smile on my face
Seemed that he didn't like the taste
Seemed like he fell from grace
He proceeded to explain a little something to me
He spent years oblivious to everything around him which now manifested itself thru tears
He complained about husbands drunk cheating on their wives drinking beers
As a couple across the street stared. He really cared
I didn't
I laughed at him, for a minute
I mean what was he thinking?
He said he contributed to half the beautiful music building sand castles only to see them washed away
Only to see them washed away
He said he thought they would last but something reminded him not today
And he cried
And he cried and he cried
And he asked me why do more people love to hate and hate to love
And i said its out of my hand, that's in the hands of the one above
And he laughed and said that's where I came from
I'm Cupid
I thought it was funny, thought it was a joke
I looked in his eyes though he really gave up hope
This wasn't just a man mad at the world
You could see the pain in his face and he didn't even have a girl
You could understand the story though sitting here all alone supposed to bring us together
With nothing in it for him
Must be hard, Jesus twice
Forsaken... by who?
The higher light
That's what happens to us all one minute we in love the next minute we out
Out of he house?
No matter where
Love doesn't last forever i swear
Sat there, Cupid
As he dropped his hands from his ears and looked up into the air and he stared
And he told me that its sad that people don't care
And i said yeah, you're right
And he looked at me
And i looked at him
And he could see all hope wasn't lost
This just happens no cost no love lost
Can't save the world but you can save yourself
With that he got up brushed off his shoulder took off his jacket and let the wings just go up
And he looked at me and smiled and he said you're a good child
He looked at me and said you're a good child and he took off into the wild
You might not believe me but its true: Cupid cries and so do you
But he cries for you, Cupid cries for you
Cupid he cried he cried for you
I saw Cupid cry for me let your arrow fly free love me
