Don't Cry

(album: Reckless - 2021)

I'll always be my own worst critic
The world exists and I'm just in it
Find something good and mess it up
Lie and say it just wasn't enough
I'll always be my own worst critic

And I hate to suffocate
Between something I love and something I hate
If I don't know who I am
How can I ever give a damn?

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
At some point your hero must die
To escape the hands of time
It's okay to not be alright and

Let it go, let it go, let it go
Face the truth and bare your soul
Lose yourself and break your heart
It's a beautiful thing to fall apart

Always running outta time
Another's world wrapped up in mine
On a trip so devout until I get bored and I check out
Always running outta time

I won't try to justify the things I've done
The lies I've lied
I can leave the past in the past
I smell it on my breath, I can't go back

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
At some point your hero must die
To escape the hands of time
It's okay to not be alright and

Let it go, let it go, let it go
Face the truth and bare your soul
Lose yourself and break your heart
It's a beautiful thing to fall apart

I am not who I seem
My alter ego takes the lead

Sit back and let her drive
But only one makes it out alive
I gotta take control
Lose myself to gain my soul

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
At some point your hero must die
To escape the hands of time
It's okay to not be alright and

Let it go, let it go, let it go
Face the truth and bare your soul
Lose yourself and break your heart
It's a beautiful thing to fall apart

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
Yeah
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Ooh

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
Yeah
Let it go, let it go, let it go
