And I'm standing on a platform 
Now I'm staring from a train 
And all the trees roll back beside but I'm so oblivious 
To the dark to the light 
It's all the same 

You gave me so much and now it's of the earth 
And it makes me cry 
(It makes me cry, it makes me cry) 
It can make me cry 

And you're standing here beside me 
In a picture in a frame 
And your voice could never fade it's so familiar 
Things you said in my head 
Every day 

You gave me so much
And now it's of the earth
And it makes me cry
(It makes me cry, it makes me cry)
And it can make me cry 

You're with me so much
Though you're never with me anymore 

And it makes me cry 
(It makes me cry, it makes me cry) 
It can make me cry 
(Oh it makes me cry, it makes me cry) 
(Yeah it makes me cry, it can make me cry)
