Cry Myself to Sleep Lyrics

I've tried so hard
You know I can't do more
It's the turn of the card
It's the close of the door

The lies you told
You know they hurt so deep
So I'll go home
And cry myself to sleep

And day after day
You've been treating me bad
Friends come up and say
Why do you take all that?

'Cause it's making me moan
And it's making me weep
So I'll go home
And cry myself to sleep

You play at love
Like a child plays games
One day I'm in
Then I'm out again

You change the rules
And I just can't win
You've broken me now
So I give in
Yeah, yeah
I've been through worse
But I don't know what
Oh, I gave to you
Everything that I got

So take this heart
Or what's left to keep
And I'll go home
And cry myself to sleep

So I'll go home
And cry myself to sleep
Cry myself to sleep

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
