Every time I cry, I cry for you
And all those times I tried, I tried for you
You’re in everything I say, and all I do
I need you in my life, don’t let this be through.

I sit alone, almost in complete darkness
Just enough light, to see I’m cold
And all the years that rolled by
Somehow, why wasn’t I ever told?

All those nights you said, you never confess
And everything was wrong, I was a mess
You never let me in, and told me
But every time I cried, you consoled me.

How come no one ever told me, what a cold shallow man I am?
And all these years people have know me, yet I still yearn for your hand.
What is it about you, that entices me?
Is it your sweetness, or my destiny?

‘Cause every time I cry, I cry for you
And every time I tried, I tried for you
You’re in everything I say, and all I do.
I need you in my life, don’t let this be through.

One a.m. and the phone rings, as I begin to tremble
I forget about everything, but still try hard to remember
I know it’s you on the other end, but I can hardly speak.
I try to make my way there, but somehow I’m took weak.

So tell me in your heart, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, I’m the same man.
I tremble and I quiver, when I realize
A friend, a love, all rolled into your eyes.

Every time I cry, I cry for you
And everytime I tried, I tried for you.
You’re in everything I say, and all I do
I need you for all life, let this be true.
