Don't Cry

(album: Semblance - 2022)

If I'd ever told you why
Losing is a safe high
Falling from a new height
Wasting by the wayside
Fearful now the will's gone
This is not a love song
These aren't tears of mine

I'm tired of the taste
Faint heart, in the cold
Spent nights, wearing thin
Felt silence
I'm tired of the days
They came and went
We were left alone
Fighting hard to breathe

If you wanna live
Closer to pretend
Closer to the end
You never seem to know
Tears are running out
Crying alone
If I were to die
You'd never let me go

Don't you cry
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more
Don't you cry

Eyes covered
Took your word
The light dies each time I lose sight
Couldn't take the shame each night

Eyes covered
Took your word
The light dies each time I lose sight
Couldn't take the pain each night

You just light me up
What was left unsaid
Quiet's all you had
The future's on fire
If you listen close
We're running out of time
You don't seem to mind
The future sounds fun
The future's on fire

Don't you cry
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more
Don't you cry

Don't you cry
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more
Don't you cry

The future's on fire
The future's on fire

If you wanna live
Closer to pretend
Closer to the end
You never seem to know
Tears are running out
Crying alone
If I were to die
You'd never seem to know

Don't you cry
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more
Don't you cry

Don't you cry
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more
Don't you cry

Don't you cry
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more
Don't you cry

Don't you cry
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more
Don't you cry
