Cold Black Sky

(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
