Verse I

 

I cried for you over my Christmas bowl

Sitting in the kitchen, letting out a howl

I cried for you over my dinner, too

All day, every day, it’s what you put me through

I tried to forget all those nasty things you said

That you didn’t love me and wished that I was dead

Now I wonder if you were crying, too

And how many tears were shed over us two

 

Chorus

 

I cried for you

Oh, I cried for you

But baby, I never lied to you

I cried for you

Oh, I cried for you

But I never cried over the things I didn’t do

 

Verse II

 

I cried for you at the sunrise

I shed a tear for every one of your lies

I cried for you into the darkness

And wonder if I could ever love you any less

I’ve hurt so bad every day since you left me

Though now I know it’s a better way to be

The pain you cause cuts so deeply

I cry and wonder if you can still hear me

 

Chorus

 

I cried for you

Oh, I cried for you

But baby, I never lied to you

I cried for you

Oh, I cried for you

But I never cried over the things I didn’t do

 

Verse III

 

I cried for you in the emptiness

Now I know that it is time to love you less

I still cried for you when my tears ran dry

And even to this day, I’m still left wondering why.

What happened to all those good feelings

How did they dried up so fast and left me reeling

What is left when the tears run out?

What to do with all this love that makes me scream and shout.

 

Chorus

 

I cried for you

Oh, I cried for you

But baby, I never lied to you

I cried for you

Oh, I cried for you

But I never cried over the things I didn’t do
