Cry Myself To Sleep

Steve Earle


I cried so hard 
You know I can't do more 
It's a turn of the card 
It's a close of the door 
The lies you told 
You know they hurt so deep 
So I go home and cry myself to sleep 

Day after day 
You been treatin' me bad 
My friends'll come up and say 
Why do you take all of that? 
And it's makin' me moan 
And it's makin' me weep 
So I go home and cry myself to sleep 

You play at love like a child plays games 
One day I'm in and then I'm out again 
You change the rules 
I can't win 
You've broken me, now, so I'll give in 

You play at love like a child plays games 
One day I'm in and then I'm out again 
You change the rules 
I can't win 
You've broken me, now, so I'll give in 

Well, I've been through worse 
But I don't know what 
Joy is just the reverse 
Of what I've got 
So take this heart 
Or what's left to keep 
And I go home and cry myself to sleep 
I just go home and cry myself to sleep 
I go home and cry myself to sleep
