Lyrics Steve Earle

Steve Earle

Cry Myself to Sleep

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 will 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
