She Cried Lyrics - Pale - Toad The Wet Sprocket

Solitaire, such a fateful game 

She turns her cards 

And writes her name on the napkin 

Now she turns another card 

She dreams about the house and romance 

He promised but won't deliver 

She waits alone 

With dried out hopes 

And dormant phone 

She waits for years 

And fantasies melt 

New ones appear 

But they won't help 

And again she catches him 

Eye pulls away 

With light too dim 

She calls his name and runs around 

But he was faster 

All alone in a bad part of town 

She waits again 

With dried out hopes 

And things she made for him 

A little ride, a little fun was all 

He held her tight 

Got tired and then let go 

Got the strain on her heart 

She believed a lying black heart 

Painted with promises 

Then he left her on the floor 

With only the mirror to curse 

Should have known better 

Should have known better 

Should have known 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

What can you say to her 

This time it's much too late 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried 

How she cried
