D-DU-UDU
I: I listened to the whine for way too long,
Time for me to hear a different song
I waited overtime for things to turn around,
Tired of waiting for it all to hit the ground
II: You said you knew all about it,
What was right and what was wrong
You pulled the world over the eyes of everyone,
Maybe I was weak when I should've been strong
Ref : Cry, baby, cry.
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lulla--- by
Cry, baby, cry.
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lulla---by
III: You took me by surprise and like a shot in the dark (shot in the dark)
You showed yourself in your truest light (truest light)
You saved yourself by saving nobody else
You must have cringed when you heard them tell
(repeat refrain)
IV: You took the wrong turn at the city of dreams (city of dreams)
You ended up back where you came from it seems (came from it seems)
Back there to where there's nothing else to do
Back there where you can sit and think of only you
(repeat refrain)

C-----r----y, tell me 'bout your lonesome lulla---by

You're lonesome lullaby
