I see you crying
See the pattern
They come and go
Leave you shattered
You've shed for so many untrue

Can you cry for a shadow?
Can you cry for a heart crying out for you?
Can you cry for a shadow?
No one asked you to

They don't deserve your priceless tears
You will whisper
Fill your ears
A reflection of a love long due

Can you cry for a shadow?
Can you cry for a heart crying out for you?
Can you cry for a shadow?
I cried for a few

Can you cry?
Dry the tears and try

Now stop crying
It doesn't matter
Just lean closer
So I can gather
Every drop of your precious tears

When you're crying for a shadow
When you're crying for a heart crying out for you
When you're crying for a shadow
Like I cried for you

Can you cry?
Dry the tears and try

Now stop your crying
It doesn't matter
Just lean closer
So I can gather
Every drop of your precious tears

When you're crying for a shadow
Crying, crying for a shadow
When you're crying for a shadow
Crying, crying
Like I cried for you
