December Sunlight (Cried Out)

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
She's cried out  cried out  cried out
Cried out
She's 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 the pillow
You can pray into the night
But you can't switch off your feelings
Like you'd switch out the light
But she's changing the way she feels
About wasting her time and tears
Cried out  cried out  cried out
She's 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
It's cry out  cry out  cry out
Cry out
It's cry out
Cry out
Cry out
Cry out
It's cry out
Cry out
Cry out
Cry out
And she'll not hear a sound
