[Verse The sky is weeping tears of gray My mind's a storm of yesterdays In shadows of our faded time I find no reason no rhyme [Chorus Oh tell me why the nights are long In the silence where you don't belong A haunting whisper in my soul A shattered heart I can't control [Verse 2 Through crowded streets I walk alone A distant echo of our home The laughter fades the colors bleed A heart betrayed by love's cruel creed [Chorus Oh tell me why the nights are long In the silence where you don't belong A haunting whisper in my soul A shattered heart I can't control [Bridge Memories like broken glass Cut through dreams that couldn't last In the ruins of what was I search for hope just because [Chorus Oh tell me why the nights are long In the silence where you don't belong A haunting whisper in my soul A shattered heart I can't control
