I know you tried your best to love me
You smiled when your heart told you to weep
You tried to pretend that you were happy
Last night I heard you crying in your sleep

You gave the best years of your life, dear
And each precious vow you tried to keep
I love you so much, I want you happy
Last night I heard you crying in your sleep

Your heart is yearning for an old love
With new love its useless [bad word] It hurts me to know you are unhappy
Last night I heard you crying in your sleep

You know that you are free to go, dear
And dont mind me if I start to weep
I know I can never make you happy
'Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep
