Cry Cry Cry

I cry in the cascading shower and my tears are washed clean away
I cry a river in my tortured sleep 
And an ocean swallows me whole okay
I shed tears when I remember you
I weep and wish that it wasn't true
Listen to me snivelling and whine
Squawking  and bellowing all the time
Never could I say goodbye
All that I seem to do is cry cry cry

In the endless pouring rain I wail
Whimper and rail without fail
In the eye of the relentless storm
I shriek and scream at the sky
A blubbering wreck I have become
As I bawl out loud and then some
Memories of you make me sob again
Grieving can be such a drain
Often I contemplate and wonder why
Nothing left to do  but cry cry cry

Nothing left to do but cry cry cry
