Lyrics:
I heard you crying, that night in the valley of the dolls
I heard you screaming, but nobody came at all

I just can’t believe what’s happened to me 
What is this place, I don’t want to be 
I can see my feet from the door 
I believe that’s me on the floor

You can shake out the darkness, honey it’s all a bad dream 
Your last breath was taken, oh wooah, in that final scene 
Now don’t try to struggle, baby just let it be 
Between the shadows, there’s no eyes to see

I can’t let go of this place 
‘til I see that look on her face 
I can see my feet from the door 
I believe that’s me on the floor

No I’ll never come back this way, Oh woman, Oh child 
No, I’ll never see your face again, Oh woman, Oh child

I heard you crying that night in the Valley of the Dolls
I heard you screaming but nobody came at all.
