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.
