won't cry for me,
she won't cry for me
Oh, she won't cry, but when I'm not around,
the tears flow easily
Kept out of sight, kept out of sight
You dry your face so nicely,
so I only see your light
I'll not raise my voice,
I'll not raise my voice
But I'll plant a seed of doubt so that
you hang on my every choice
That's the price you pay,
that's the price you pay
That's the kindest way of saying that
your dreams have flown away
I say I don't know better,
but we both know that I do
Your words cut and lift me from
the custom and the blue
I'm sorry if mine were
too hard for you to chew
I know I spat them out,
but only half of them were true
Only half of them were true
This isn't you, this isn't you
But I never knew that this was something
we'd just be tied into
In a simple talk, in a simple talk
The spark is not as old as it is, so
why should I not walk?
It's the crack in your voice
as you try to ascertain
Which parts of you I
could never entertain
Which parts of me that were
tuned into your pain
Which parts of me that
just would sin in vain
Your dreams were only
ever big enough for two
My dreams were born from other
people passing through
Now they're a shadow
of the visions that we drew
I think it's time we had a little review
I think it's time we had a little review
She won't cry for me,
she won't cry for me
Oh, she won't cry,
but if we're just in mental
note, it's clear to see
It's clear to see, it's clear to see
We'll have to first be lonely
if we're ever to be free
