(Verse 1)
I sit cast aside by the wayside
By you
Never really given love by you
Just lies I told myself to make it through
False hope, fake reasons why
You never wanted me in your life
I’m dying slow on the inside
Looking for a sign
But all I see is you walking by
(Pre-Chorus)
And all I can do is cry
For all the time that slipped me by
(Chorus)
Cry for all the years gone by
You never gave me a fair try
Never saw the truth inside
Just stone-cold faces, judging eyes
I fought alone, I stayed alive
But you never saw me try
So I cry…
For all the time gone by
(Verse 2)
Cold black eyes, stone-set faces
Never missed a chance to break me
Cut me down to size every time
Still I thought I could stand and fight
One on one with life
I tried Proving I could still survive
Hell, I must’ve been high
‘Cause the only place for me
Is that cold, dark, and lonely sky
(Pre-Chorus 2)
I’ve got nothing left
Not even my pride
All I can do now is cry
(Chorus)
Cry for all the years gone by
You’ll never know this heart inside
All the pain I had to hide
All the times I stayed alive
Someday you’re gonna realize
You’re the reason why
I let my broken life
Drift into that cold black sky
(Bridge )(quiet, then building)
All I ever wanted
Was to feel like I mattered
To be loved from the inside
Someday I won’t even cry
‘Cause I won’t see a reason why
I should still try
(Break) (almost whispered)
So I hang my head
With tears in my eyes
And I whisper one last time…
(Final Chorus / Outro)
Cry for all the years gone by
I really did give it my life
Someday you’ll finally see
What you did to me
I tried… I tried…
Goodbye
