Intro

 The early morning sun lit up her room

 But it wasn’t just a change in the weather

 She’d read it in her stars and now she felt it in her heart

Life was gonna start getting better

 And there was a time when she would pray

 That each teardrop that rolled down her face

 Would represent a day of pain for him

 But she’s changing the way she feels

 About wasting her time and tears

Cried out, cried out, cried out

Cried out, cried out, cried out

(interlude)

And all the tricks and all the lies

 He tried to pull over her eyes

 Kept running through her mind

She looks back in disbelief

 In confusion and in grief

 At what his secrecy was revealing

 You can scream into the pillow

 You can pray into the night

 But you can’t switch off your feelings

 Like you’d switch out the light

 But she’s changing the way she feels

 About wasting her time and tears

Cried out, cried out, cried out

Cried out, cried out, cried out

(interlude)

 And now these winter skies

 Turn blue and bright

 And she feels alive

 And wants to drink every kiss

 Make up for what she’s missed

And wipe him out of her mind

 Some day he’ll have to grow up

 And come clean, and listen to the screams

 Of his own conscience

 Cry out, cry out, cry out

 Cry out, cry out, cry out

 Cry out, cry out, cry out,

 Cry out, cry out, cry out...

... And she’ll not hear a sound.
