Lyrics: Katie Melua. Piece By Piece. I Cried For You.

You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you

But others pass, they never pause
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why

I cried for you when the sky cried for you
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea
For a different world
With your treasure
A secret for me to hold

In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met
They may not know
How much you meant to me

I cried for you and the sky cried for you
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper

Without you now I see
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay

I cried for you and the sky cried for you
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
