I heard about them 'bout your cries 'bout your weepings and your tears I've heard about them bumping into everything on the sleek narrow bridge on the frail dock by the bay on the gutter when it rains I've heard about these muffled screams below the sheets and silent sobs beneath the moonlight and the pitch black darkness of tonight I've heard about you, too walking through the sharpest stones limping through the darkest shores drowning yourself in deepest points of misery As I step up close to them on those gloomy sights of yours and let myself be lost in the agony of the tune that you keep humming through the doors, I felt the worst There, in that very moment, I've heard just one solo cry One so devastating One so heartbreaking And in that one moment I know just the reason —and that reason is me.

I heard about them 'bout your cries 'bout your weepings and your tears I've heard about them bumping into everything on the sleek narrow bridge on the frail dock by the bay on the gutter when it rains I've heard about these muffled screams below the sheets and silent sobs beneath the moonlight and the pitch black darkness of tonight I've heard about you, too walking through the sharpest stones limping through the darkest shores drowning yourself in deepest points of misery As I step up close to them on those gloomy sights of yours and let myself be lost in the agony of the tune that you keep humming through the doors, I felt the worst There, in that very moment, I've heard just one solo cry One so devastating One so heartbreaking And in that one moment I know just the reason —and that reason is me.
I know. I am. And will be. The reason why your heart breaks. And I'm sorry for that.
