Lyrics
Verse 1
Woke this morning to the sound of policemen knocking at my door. They said you've gone, past away, you won't be here anymore.

Chorus
I cried, I cried till the tears ran dry I cried. I cried I, cried till I was empty inside. I cried.
Break

Chorus
I cried, I cried till the tears ran dry I cried. I cried I, cried till I was empty inside. I cried.
