Sia -I Cry Alone(Lyrics)

I Cry Alone [Verse 1] I wake up with the morning light, But nothing feels like home tonight. Your shadow lingers on my wall, Like memories I can't let fall. I hear your voice inside my head, The little words we never said. I reach for you without a thought, Then realize you're all I've lost. The room is quiet, the clock moves slow, There are things that nobody knows. I wear a smile when people come, But when they leave, the tears still run. [Pre-Chorus] I tell the world that I'm okay, I say I've learned to walk away. But when the darkness fills my room, I feel the weight of missing you. [Chorus] I cry alone when no one sees, I fall apart down on my knees. I hold the pieces of my heart, And wonder why we fell apart. I scream your name into the night, But there's no answer, no goodbye. I tell myself I'll carry on, But every night feels way too long. I cry alone, I cry alone, Where all my hidden tears are known. Nobody hears, nobody knows, How much it hurts when you're gone. I kept your picture in a drawer, I tell myself I need no more. But every time I close my eyes, I see the way you said goodbye. You promised we would never change, That love would always stay the same. But promises can disappear, And leave a heart drowning in fear. I walk the streets we used to know, Past every place we used to go. The city shines, the people laugh, But I'm still living in the past. I wonder if you think of me, Or if you've finally learned to breathe. Do you remember how I stayed When every part of me was afraid? [Pre-Chorus] I tell my friends I've found my strength, I tell them I'm okay again. But they don't see behind my eyes The ocean I keep locked inside. [Chorus] I cry alone when no one sees, I fall apart down on my knees. I hold the pieces of my heart, And wonder why we fell apart. I scream your name into the night, But there's no answer, no goodbye. I tell myself I'll carry on, But every night feels way too long. I cry alone, I cry alone, Where all my hidden tears are known. Nobody hears, nobody knows, How much it hurts when you're gone. Maybe someday I'll stop looking For your face in every crowd. Maybe someday I'll stop wishing That you'd turn around somehow. Maybe these scars will become stories, Maybe these tears will fade away. Maybe I'll finally forgive you, Maybe I'll forgive myself someday. But tonight, I'm still remembering, Tonight, I can't pretend I'm strong. Tonight, I let the silence hold me, Tonight, I admit that I was wrong. I loved you more than I should have, I gave you everything I had. And when you left without a warning, You took the best part of what I am. [Breakdown] So let me cry... Let me break... Let me feel the love you left behind. Let me hurt... Let me heal... Even broken hearts can learn to feel. If nobody stays, If nobody knows, I'll find my way through this alone. [Final Chorus] I cry alone when no one sees, But I'm still fighting to be free. I'm gathering the pieces now, I'm learning how to breathe somehow. I screamed your name into the night, But now I'm watching morning rise. The tears still fall, but I can say I'm not the person you betrayed. I cry alone, I cry alone, But I don't have to stay unknown. Every tear that touched my face Is proof I survived what love erased. I cry alone, but I still breathe, There's something stronger underneath. You took my heart, you took my trust, But you can't take what's left of us. So tonight I cry alone, But tomorrow I'll move on. The silence won't forever stay, And pain can't steal another day. I loved you once, and that's okay. I lost you, but I found my way. The tears may fall before the dawn, But when the morning comes, I'll carry on. I cry alone... But I won't always be alone. I cry alone... And slowly, I'm coming home.
