[Verse 1]
I see you crying
See the patterns
They come and go
They leave you shattered
You've shed for so many untrue
[Chorus]
Can you cry for a shadow?
Can you cry for a heart crying out for you?
Can you cry for a shadow?
No one asked you to
[Verse 2]
They don't deserve your priceless tears
And the whispers
That fill your ears
A reflection of a love long due
[Chorus]
Can you cry for a shadow?
Can you cry for a heart crying out for you?
Can you cry for a shadow?
I've cried a few
[Post-Chorus]
Can you cry, cry, cry?
Dry the tears and try, try, try
[Verse 3]
Stop your crying
It doesn't matter
Just lean closer
So I can gather
Every drop of your precious tears
[Chorus]
Can you cry for a shadow?
Can you cry for a heart crying out for you?
Can you cry for a shadow?
I've cried a few
[Verse 4]
Now stop your crying
It doesn't matter
Just lean closer
So I can gather
Every drop of your precious tears
[Chorus]
When you're crying for a shadow
Crying, crying for a shadow
When you're crying for a shadow
Crying, crying
Like I cried
Like I cried for you
