Nothing I can do is gonna change
The fact you're gone away, now.
God knows I've tried.
And nothing I can do can stop the rain,
From falling on my face, now, every night.

I'm stuck here in the past.
I can't move on, I can't go back.
It's just not fair.
I wake up in a sweat, all soaking wet,
I reach out, but you're not there.

So I cry.
And watch the days roll by.
I miss the way you love me.
And I die down deep inside.
But I will survive,
Just give me tears and time.

Tears can wash away the emptiness,
Take it like a river to the sea.
Time can wrap its arms around the pain,
'Til it becomes a tender memory.

I'm still here all alone.
The world's so dark, since you've been gone
It's just not fair.
I call out your name.
But there's just silence, always the same
Unanswered prayer.

So I cry.
And watch the days roll by.
I miss the way you love me.
And I die down deep inside.
But I will survive,
Just give me tears and time.

Yeah, God, I cry.
And watch the days roll by.
But I will survive.
Just give me tears and time.
