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
