December Sunlight

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 now 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

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

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

... And she'll not hear a sound
