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 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 your pillow
You can pray into the night
But you can't switch off your feelings
Like you'd switch out a 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
Cry out, cry out, cry out
Cry out, cry out, cry out
Cry out, cry out, cry out
Cry out, cry out, cry out
Cry out, she'll not hear a sound
